She is the only daughter of [[Alena Capla]] and [[Andoro Capla]] and a descendant of the [[Apostle]] [[Judea]]. == History == Aless was born in a small Ylatian village called Hyalthus, on the 2nd Day of Summer, in the year 1432. Her mother Alena taught her how to read and write, as well as devotion to the Ylatian God Sanctris. Her father Andor, a former soldier in the Imperial Army, taught Aless how to protect herself and others with the blade. At age 12, Aless's magical powers finally manifested, but did so in a dangerous manner. One night, when it was just her mother and her in the house, Aless got attacked by a wild animal while playing in the Hyalthusian Forest outside the village. She survived the ordeal but was badly injured. Alena rescued Aless and tried to save her daughter, but during treatment Aless's magical powers were unleashed and went into a uncontrollable frenzy filled with fire magic. In the ensuing chaos, Aless started fire in the Capla home and nearly killed her own mother. Alena was able to stop Aless with her own Apostle powers and used water magic to stop the fury. No one was seriously injured, but they were found by their neighbor Alec Riollo who took both in for treatment. Only he knew the truth of what happened that night, and promised to keep it secret from everyone, including Andoro, as to not drive the family away. Aless had no memories of that fateful night, and would not learn of that terrible until six years later when a even more tragic event befell on Hyalthus. ===First Book=== On the 90th Day of Spring, 1450, Aless's magical powers manifested. It was unusual, though not unheard of, for someone older to have their magical powers manifested. Immediately, Aless took to books her mother had on magic and began studying, hoping to become a wizard like Alena. On Aless's birthday, 2nd Day of Summer, Alena agreed to teach Aless on how to use her magic properly. That same day, her father presented Aless with her own sword- one that he had forged in the city of Florsis months prior. He had intended Aless to work next to him as Hyalthus's leader and gave her the sword as a badge of her position in Hyalthus. But as the day went along, Aless suffered setbacks that shot her confidence. Her martial ability was still not up to par of her father's expectations, and even chipped her new sword while practicing with her father. Later, Aless had her first magic lesson, which was a complete disaster for the young woman. Her fire magic was beyond pathetic power wise, and Aless almost suffered a heart attack trying to push herself to cast a simple fire spell. It was that moment that Alena had told Aless that her powers were insignificant, and thus learning magic would not only be fruitless but dangerous. That night, however, would change Aless's life. At dusk, just as the village was having their supper and getting ready for bed, state-sponsored bandits from the Thermosian Federation attacked Hyalthus. Led by Marko and a Cult of Thermanos officer named Luther, the bandits quickly overran the village, killing everyone they came across, including Andoro Capla. Aless was forced by her mother to hide in a basement while she tried to defend Hyalthus from the bandits. Though she was able to kill several of them using her own magical powers, Marko defeated her by using a Block spell he had learned from Luther. She was captured, as Alena was the primary target for the attack, and taken away by Marko and his gang. The only survivors of the attack were Aless and the Riollo Family that hid in a barn during the attack. ====Meeting Allies==== Marko had left three bandits in Hyalthus to survey the village one last time for any survivors or valuables. They discovered Aless hiding in her home's basement and captured her. They decided to take her back to Marko and convince him to sell her in the slave markets back in Thermosia. But before the bandits could leave, the surviving members of the Riollo family attacked the bandits, killing two. The third bandit, Kaiser, severely wounded the patriarch Alec and his wife, before turning his attention to their eldest child Fiora who he quickly dispatched as well. As he started strangling Fiora, Aless's grief and fear manifested in her heart and finally unleashed her magical powers once more. She torched Kaiser until he was nothing more than ash. e4ef1307a0f1c6aeb7d6fe046a4d6aa88833ef8f 8 7 2022-06-19T10:19:11Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Aless Capla''' is a [[Ylatian]] [[wizard]] and the main character of 'Apostle Ascendant'.

She torched Kaiser until he was nothing more than ash. == Appearance == At first glance Aless looks like a typical young adult, with her defining features being her short, violet hair and eyes. Her hair also has three cowlicks on the top which she found impossible to comb down. However, she refuses to cut them and decided on keeping them as she got many compliments about how it looked on her. Before she went off on her adventure in the first book, Aless wore a green tunic with a yellow long dress and working boots as her everyday clothes. Her work clothes, and her main outfit after the attack on Hyalthus, was a long brown tunic with long brown boots. == Personality == Aless is a incredibly caring and selfless person. During her life in Hyalthus, she would go around helping other families with their chores and work no matter how hard or dirty they were. She reveled in the work and was proud to help others. Because of this, she was well-respected in the village. Growing up, many boys in Hyalthus would try to covet her affection, to no avail, as Aless was focused on herself and her family than forming a relationship. However, Aless suffers from severe anxiety and self-esteem issues, which she internalized and did not seek help for. These troubles only elevated when she went after Marko's bandits to rescue her mother. Even with powerful allies by her side, Aless still had trouble overcoming her own personal issues. This has had unfortunate consequences for both her and those around her. Aless despises having to fight, but will do so to protect herself, those close to her, or the innocent. But she is prone to getting sick after fights and being traumatized by each encounter. == Magic == Ember Incinerate Fist of Fire Burning Hatred Blinding Fire Rage 00c4c6596c0e88a00cd6a1df9469960f85f38562 13 12 2022-06-19T11:08:10Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Aless Capla''' is a [[Ylatian]] [[wizard]] and the main character of 'Apostle Ascendant'.

As he started strangling Fiora, Aless's grief and fear manifested in her heart and finally unleashed her magical powers once more. She torched Kaiser until he was nothing more than ash. == Appearance == At first glance Aless looks like a typical young adult, with her defining features being her short, violet hair and eyes. Her hair also has three cowlicks on the top which she found impossible to comb down. However, she refuses to cut them and decided on keeping them as she got many compliments about how it looked on her. Before she went off on her adventure in the first book, Aless wore a green tunic with a yellow long dress and working boots as her everyday clothes. Her work clothes, and her main outfit after the attack on Hyalthus, was a long brown tunic with long brown boots. == Personality == Aless is a incredibly caring and selfless person. During her life in Hyalthus, she would go around helping other families with their chores and work no matter how hard or dirty they were. She reveled in the work and was proud to help others. Because of this, she was well-respected in the village. Growing up, many boys in Hyalthus would try to covet her affection, to no avail, as Aless was focused on herself and her family than forming a relationship. However, Aless suffers from severe anxiety and self-esteem issues, which she internalized and did not seek help for. These troubles only elevated when she went after Marko's bandits to rescue her mother. Even with powerful allies by her side, Aless still had trouble overcoming her own personal issues. This has had unfortunate consequences for both her and those around her. Aless despises having to fight, but will do so to protect herself, those close to her, or the innocent. But she is prone to getting sick after fights and being traumatized by each encounter. == Magic == * Ember * Incinerate * Fist of Fire * Burning Hatred * Blinding Fire Rage 391aa13f9c52d46896d363d80710f107d6efcb8b 14 13 2022-06-19T11:08:47Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Aless Capla''' is a [[Ylatian]] [[wizard]] and the main character of 'Apostle Ascendant'. She is the only daughter of [[Alena Capla]] and [[Andoro Capla]] and a descendant of the [[Apostle]] [[Judea]]. [[File:Aless Portrait2.jpg|thumb|right|Aless Capla, age 18]] == History == Aless was born in a small Ylatian village called [[Hyalthus]], on the 2nd Day of Summer, in the year [[1432]]. Her mother Alena taught her how to read and write, as well as devotion to the Ylatian God [[Sanctris]]. Her father Andoro, a former soldier in the [[Imperial Army]], taught Aless how to protect herself and others with the blade. At age 12, Aless's magical powers finally manifested, but did so in a dangerous manner. One night, when it was just her mother and her in the house, Aless got attacked by a wild animal while playing in the Hyalthusian Forest outside the village. She survived the ordeal but was badly injured. Alena rescued Aless and tried to save her daughter, but during treatment Aless's magical powers were unleashed and went into a uncontrollable frenzy filled with fire magic. In the ensuing chaos, Aless started fire in the Capla home and nearly killed her own mother. Alena was able to stop Aless with her own Apostle powers and used water magic to stop the fury. No one was seriously injured, but they were found by their neighbor [[Alec Riollo]] who took both in for treatment. Only he knew the truth of what happened that night, and promised to keep it secret from everyone, including Andoro, as to not drive the family away. Aless had no memories of that fateful night, and would not learn of that terrible until six years later when a even more tragic event befell on Hyalthus. ===First Book=== On the 90th Day of Spring, [[1450]], Aless's magical powers manifested once more, but this time on a smaller scale. It was unusual, though not unheard of, for someone older to have their magical powers manifested. Immediately, Aless took to books her mother had on magic and began studying, hoping to become a wizard like Alena. On Aless's birthday, 2nd Day of Summer, Alena agreed to teach Aless on how to use her magic properly. That same day, her father presented Aless with her own sword- one that he had forged in the city of [[Florsis]] months prior. He had intended Aless to work next to him as Hyalthus's leader and gave her the sword as a badge of her position in Hyalthus. But as the day went along, Aless suffered setbacks that shot her confidence. Her martial ability was still not up to par of her father's expectations, and even chipped her new sword while practicing with her father. Later, Aless had her first magic lesson, which was a complete disaster for the young woman. Her fire magic was beyond pathetic power wise, and Aless almost suffered a heart attack trying to push herself to cast a simple fire spell. It was that moment that Alena had told Aless that her powers were insignificant, and thus learning magic would not only be fruitless but dangerous. That night, however, would change Aless's life. At dusk, just as the village was having their supper and getting ready for bed, state-sponsored bandits from the [[Thermosian Federation]] attacked Hyalthus. Led by [[Marko]] and a [[Cult of Thermanos officer named Luther]], the bandits quickly overran the village, killing everyone they came across, including Andoro Capla. Aless was forced by her mother to hide in a basement while she tried to defend Hyalthus from the bandits. Though she was able to kill several of them using her own magical powers, Marko defeated her by using a Block spell he had learned from Luther. She was captured, as Alena was the primary target for the attack, and taken away by Marko and his gang. The only survivors of the attack were Aless and the [[Riollo]] Family that hid in a barn during the attack. ====Meeting Allies==== Marko had left three bandits in Hyalthus to survey the village one last time for any survivors or valuables. They discovered Aless hiding in her home's basement and captured her. They decided to take her back to Marko and convince him to sell her in the slave markets back in [[Thermosia]]. But before the bandits could leave, the surviving members of the Riollo family attacked the bandits, killing two. The third bandit, Kaiser, severely wounded the patriarch Alec and his wife, before turning his attention to their eldest child [[Fiora]] who he quickly dispatched as well.

At the same time, Alena had unleashed her Apostle Blood and was ravaging the bandits that stood in her way. Aless panicked, and left the scene to hide in the forest, but was being chased down by three bandits. ====Meeting Allies==== Aless kept running as fast as she could, hoping to avoid the bandits, but got lost in the panic. She ended up running into a masked "ranger" named Schaffer (who later revealed to be a deserter from Marko's gang and tried to warn the residents of Hyalthus, but failed to beat Marko to the village). Schaffer helped Aless dispatch the bandits chasing her down, and afterwards promised to help her return to Hyalthus to save it. Unbeknownst to her, Marko and his forces completed their objective. Alena was captured, her powers suppressed and her body bound by soul magic from Marko and Luther. The Hyalthusians were rounded up and murdered, their souls used fuel Marko and Luther's magics. Only those who fled during the battle to hide outside the village survived. Aless and Schaffer returned to Hyalthus later in the evening, finding Marko and much of his gang had left, leaving only a small detachment to await news of the ones chasing Aless. During the skirmish, the surviving members of the Riollo family rallied whatever Hyalthusians were left and counter-attacked the bandits. Aless and the others gained the advantage, but one of them, Kaiser, used his red magics to turn the tide. Kaiser, severely wounded the patriarch Alec and his wife, before turning his attention to their eldest child [[Fiora]] who he quickly dispatched as well.

At age 12, Aless's magical powers finally manifested, but did so in a dangerous manner. One night, when it was just her mother and her in the house, Aless got attacked by a wild animal while playing in the Hyalthusian Forest outside the village. She survived the ordeal but was badly injured. Alena rescued Aless and tried to save her daughter, but during treatment Aless's magical powers were unleashed and went into a uncontrollable frenzy filled with fire magic. In the ensuing chaos, Aless started fire in the Capla home and nearly killed her own mother. Alena was able to stop Aless with her own Apostle powers and used water magic to stop the fury. No one was seriously injured, but they were found by their neighbor [[Alec Riollo]] who took both in for treatment. Only he knew the truth of what happened that night, and promised to keep it secret from everyone, including Andoro, as to not drive the family away. Aless had no memories of that fateful night, and would not learn of that terrible until six years later when a even more tragic event befell on Hyalthus. ===First Book=== On the 90th Day of Spring, [[1450]], Aless's magical powers manifested once more, but this time on a smaller scale. It was unusual, though not unheard of, for someone older to have their magical powers manifested. Immediately, Aless took to books her mother had on magic and began studying, hoping to become a wizard like Alena. On Aless's birthday, 2nd Day of Summer, Alena agreed to teach Aless on how to use her magic properly. That same day, her father presented Aless with her own sword- one that he had forged in the city of [[Florsis]] months prior. He had intended Aless to work next to him as Hyalthus's leader and gave her the sword as a badge of her position in Hyalthus. But as the day went along, Aless suffered setbacks that shot her confidence. Her martial ability was still not up to par of her father's expectations, and even chipped her new sword while practicing with her father. Later, Aless had her first magic lesson, which was a complete disaster for the young woman. Her fire magic was beyond pathetic power wise, and Aless almost suffered a heart attack trying to push herself to cast a simple fire spell. It was that moment that Alena had told Aless that her powers were insignificant, and thus learning magic would not only be fruitless but dangerous. That night, however, would change Aless's life. At dusk, just as the village was having their supper and getting ready for bed, state-sponsored bandits from the [[Thermosian Federation]] attacked Hyalthus. Led by [[Marko]] and a [[Cult of Thermanos officer named Luther]], the bandits quickly overran the village, killing everyone they came across, including Andoro Capla. At first, Aless's parents demanded she stay inside the home, but Aless defied them and chose to fight the bandits herself. However, she was ineffective in the fight, nearly dying by Marko's hand. Andoro sacrificed his life to save his daughter, and in his dying breath demanded Aless flee into the Hyalthusian forest. At the same time, Alena had unleashed her Apostle Blood and was ravaging the bandits that stood in her way. Aless panicked, and left the scene to hide in the forest, but was being chased down by three bandits. ====Meeting Allies==== Aless kept running as fast as she could, hoping to avoid the bandits, but got lost in the panic. She ended up running into a masked "ranger" named Schaffer (who later revealed to be a deserter from Marko's gang and tried to warn the residents of Hyalthus, but failed to beat Marko to the village). Schaffer helped Aless dispatch the bandits chasing her down, and afterwards promised to help her return to Hyalthus to save it. Unbeknownst to her, Marko and his forces completed their objective. Alena was captured, her powers suppressed and her body bound by soul magic from Marko and Luther. The Hyalthusians were rounded up and murdered, their souls used fuel Marko and Luther's magics, their bodies twisted and transformed into gruesome ghouls. Only those who fled during the battle to hide outside the village survived. Aless and Schaffer returned to Hyalthus later in the evening, finding Marko and much of his gang had left, leaving only a small detachment to await the others chasing Aless. During the skirmish with the bandits and ghouls, the surviving members of the Riollo family rallied whatever Hyalthusians were left and counter-attacked the bandits. It was in the middle of the fight that Andoro attacked Aless, almost killing her but he purposely held back begging his daughter to end his suffering. Aless fulfilled his last wish, though to great grief. Aless and the others gained the advantage, but one of them, Kaiser, used his red magics to turn the tide. Kaiser, the leader of the detachment, severely wounded the patriarch Alec and his wife, before turning his attention to their eldest child [[Fiora]] who he quickly dispatched as well. As he started strangling Fiora, all the grief and fear that Aless internalized finally broke her and her Apostle Blood was ignited, unleashing a massive firestorm that completely overwhelmed and immolated Kaiser and ended the bandit threat to Hyalthus. ===First Adventure=== After her Apostle Blood stabilized, Aless fell unconscious. In this state Aless had a dream of uniting with the spirit of Andoro, pleading her to use her powers to rescue Alena and protect the innocent. The question of whether she had a actual spiritual connection to her father before he parted was unimportant. When Aless awoken the next morning, on her birthday, she made the choice to go find Marko and Alena. The surviving Hyalthusians all supported Aless's decision, and Schaffer agreeing to accompanying Aless. The two parted that afternoon, heading north towards the region's capital, Dehl. ===Felix, Vis, and Morus=== It did not take long before Aless and Schaffer found trouble. On the trail, the two were ambushed by a octopus-like monster that had been transformed by Marko, one of his " parting gifts" for the Ylatians. The monster subdued Aless and Schaffer, and was prepared to devour them but in the nick of time they were saved by a group of adventurers who were also on their way to Dehl- Felix Auran, Vishar Mas-Alsaid, and Morus Alsaid. After they slayed the monster, Aless explained her goals, and the three men agreed to help Aless find the bandits. == Appearance == At first glance Aless looks like a typical young adult, with her defining features being her short, violet hair and eyes. Her hair also has three cowlicks on the top which she found impossible to comb down. However, she refuses to cut them and decided on keeping them as she got many compliments about how it looked on her. Before she went off on her adventure in the first book, Aless wore a green tunic with a yellow long dress and working boots as her everyday clothes. Her work clothes, and her main outfit after the attack on Hyalthus, was a long brown tunic with long brown boots. == Personality == Aless is a incredibly caring and selfless person. During her life in Hyalthus, she would go around helping other families with their chores and work no matter how hard or dirty they were. She reveled in the work and was proud to help others. Because of this, she was well-respected in the village. Growing up, many boys in Hyalthus would try to covet her affection, to no avail, as Aless was focused on herself and her family than forming a relationship. However, Aless suffers from severe anxiety and self-esteem issues, which she internalized and did not seek help for. These troubles only elevated when she went after Marko's bandits to rescue her mother. Even with powerful allies by her side, Aless still had trouble overcoming her own personal issues. This has had unfortunate consequences for both her and those around her. Aless despises having to fight, but will do so to protect herself, those close to her, or the innocent. But she is prone to getting sick after fights and being traumatized by each encounter. == Magic == * Ember * Incinerate * Fist of Fire * Burning Hatred * Blinding Fire Rage b31d09c3539a52ef1654ee269cf48abf7210804e 24 21 2022-08-26T13:10:34Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Aless Capla''' is a [[Ylatian]] [[wizard]] and the main character of 'Apostle Ascendant'.

She showed no emotion as she stared back towards her superior. “The other knights want your head for what you have done.” The Marshal said. “I don’t care. Get this over with and they can have my head..” “Do you have nothing to say for yourself, how you dishonored your own brethren and family?” “I do not. I am guilty. There is nothing to say.” “At least you still have your honor. That is commendable. But it will not save you from your punishment.” “Nor do I want it. I deserve to die for what I have done.

As you are well aware, the punishment for killing one of your sworn comrades in dishonorable combat is death.” There was a pause as the Marshal put on his spectacles. “However, I will not grant you death.” Charlotte looked up, stunned at what she had heard. “In the thirty years I have been Marshal of this order, I have never ordered the execution of one of my knights. I will not start tonight, especially not with my very own daughter." “F-father…” “You brought shame to my family name and my legacy. Our scribes will write poorly upon me for this incident. But I cannot in good conscience order your execution. But I cannot let you go unpunished.” A single tear came out of Charlotte’s eye. Her father noticed it quickly. He hadn't seen her daughter shed a tear since she was a child. “My judgement is this- you will be stripped of your title. Your accomplishments in battle will be stricken from our records. Your name stricken from all our Order’s history save for the evil deed you have committed. You are no longer a knight of this Order, and you will never be a knight in any Order across the kingdom…” “No. No please!” “And you are…” The marshal eyes turned red as tears rolled down his cheek, no matter how much he tried to hide it. “You are from this day forward no longer my daughter. You may be of my flesh and blood and that I cannot change, but I will never see you again child.” “You can’t do this!” Charlotte jumped up and shouted. “Kill me please! Let me die!” Two knights barged in and took a hold of Charlotte as they presumed she would get violent. “I’m sorry Charlotte…but this is my judgement. You are free to live out the rest of your days in any fashion you see fit. But you will forever live in shame for what you have done. You will have no family to go to. These are the burdens that will shackle your mortal coil until the Mother finally calls for you and seeks to judge you.” “You’re a bastard!” Charlotte shouted. “I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!” The Marshal turned around in his chair, not wanting to look at his child again. “Men, throw her off our grounds. But do not harm her, for she is of no danger to any of us anymore.” “Yes Marshal.” One of the knights replied. Charlotte was trying to break free from the knights, but she was tired and had little in the way of strength. However, her cursing and shouting did not cease, and the Marshal would hear of it for a bit longer. The door to the Marshal’s sanctuary closed behind the guards. The Marshal looked down from his room towards a cemetery plot located right next to the compound. His eyes were pointed towards one gravestone- one with a small stone statue of a saint wearing armor. He tried to hold back his tears, but some still broke through. “My love…I pray that you will forgive me…” 611dba94d88a5a71e5649e9e83d20cc007227142 30 29 2022-08-26T13:58:45Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki 9th Day of Fall, 1443 [[Charlotte]] was always a good knight.

Let me die!” Two knights barged in and took a hold of Charlotte as they presumed she would get violent. “I’m sorry Charlotte…but this is my judgement. You are free to live out the rest of your days in any fashion you see fit. But you will forever live in shame for what you have done. You will have no family to go to. These are the burdens that will shackle your mortal coil until the Mother finally calls for you and seeks to judge you.” “You’re a bastard!” Charlotte shouted. “I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!” The Marshal turned around in his chair, not wanting to look at his child again. “Men, throw her off our grounds. But do not harm her, for she is of no danger to any of us anymore.” “Yes Marshal.” One of the knights replied. Charlotte was trying to break free from the knights, but she was tired and had little in the way of strength. However, her cursing and shouting did not cease, and the Marshal would hear of it for a bit longer. The door to the Marshal’s sanctuary closed behind the guards.

She dealt with the hard labor and distasteful tasks of being a squire without complaint. As a initiate, she endured the harsh, exhaustive training without fail. When she earned her knight title, she did her duties without pause. Whatever order come from a superior, she carried it out without question no matter how life threatening it was. Even on days where she was sick and exhausted, she never stopped training. She followed every written and unwritten rule that was taught. Charlotte was a good knight, but not a good person. Still reeling from repeated blows to her head, Charlotte found her wrists bounded and kneeling in front of the [[Grand Marshal]] of her order, [[The Order of the Mother’s Light]]. The Marshal was donned in his luxurious white gown, bearing the Order’s crest on the back. The dark red haired, bearded gentlemen glared down towards the battered woman. She showed no emotion as she stared back towards her superior. “The other knights want your head for what you have done.” The Marshal said. “I don’t care. Get this over with and they can have my head..” “Do you have nothing to say for yourself, how you dishonored your own brethren and family?” “I do not. I am guilty. There is nothing to say.” “At least you still have your honor. That is commendable. But it will not save you from your punishment.” “Nor do I want it. I deserve to die for what I have done. Let us be through so I can see the executioner’s axe.” The Marshal returned behind his desk and sat down. Charlotte put her head down, fearing she had no right to look at him for any longer. She hated the waiting. She wanted to hear her punishment now. “Killing one of your brethren in a drunken, hate-filled brawl is a serious crime. As you are well aware, the punishment for killing one of your sworn comrades in dishonorable combat is death.” There was a pause as the Marshal put on his spectacles. “However, I will not grant you death.” Charlotte looked up, stunned at what she had heard. “In the thirty years I have been Marshal of this order, I have never ordered the execution of one of my knights. I will not start tonight, especially not with my very own daughter." “F-father…” “You brought shame to my family name and my legacy. Our scribes will write poorly upon me for this incident. But I cannot in good conscience order your execution. But I cannot let you go unpunished.” A single tear came out of Charlotte’s eye. Her father noticed it quickly. He hadn't seen her daughter shed a tear since she was a child. “My judgement is this- you will be stripped of your title. Your accomplishments in battle will be stricken from our records. Your name stricken from all our Order’s history save for the evil deed you have committed. You are no longer a knight of this Order, and you will never be a knight in any Order across the kingdom…” “No. No please!” “And you are…” The marshal eyes turned red as tears rolled down his cheek, no matter how much he tried to hide it. “You are from this day forward no longer my daughter. You may be of my flesh and blood and that I cannot change, but I will never see you again child.” “You can’t do this!” Charlotte jumped up and shouted. “Kill me please!

Currently, the two are on a quest to recover several artifacts from being stolen by the Morgash Cult and to find the Duck of Asconnes Padilla. Charlotte's father was the Grand Marshal of the Knightly Order of the Mother's Light, while her mother was a Paladin within the order. Growing up, Charlotte wished to become Francia's greatest knight and become legendary. During her career, she was one of the most promising knights in her order, slaying over a dozen monsters and bringing justice to outlaws. But her promising career came to an end in 1443 when she got into a altercation with some of her brethren, accidentally killing one. Though the normal punishment for such a crime within the Knightly Orders was death, High Marshal Frederic instead banished Charlotte and revoked all her titles and accomplishments. She was forbidden from ever contacting the Mother's Light Order, and she was forbidden from joining any other Knightly Order. Downtrodden and distraught, Charlotte spent the next year turning to vagrancy, earning little money as a laborer or a guard. Her fortunes turned, however, when she saved a nobleman who was being assaulted by thugs in an alley she was spending the night at. The nobleman, who was revealed to be Duke Padilla of Asconnes, rewarded Charlotte by allowing her to join his levy. After five years in his service, Charlotte became a captain of Padilla's personal guard. Shortly after her promotion, on one winter day in 1448, Padilla called upon Charlotte to recover his one and only daughter Neomie, also known as "Snowball," for a private meeting. After finding Snowball and returning to the residences, they found it under attacked by a mysterious group, later to be revealed as the Morgash Cult. Thanks to Charlotte's arrival, she rallied the guards and drove the invaders out, but found that Duke Padilla had been captured. The only clue to his wearabouts lay in a note he had left behind before his capture, addressed to both Charlotte and Neomie, asking them to go to the family's ancestral tomb to recover a priceless family amulet before the Cult finds its location. Thus beginning the journey of Snowball and the Knight. 3342671390100678be621aea6e6fc41675d72b37 36 34 2022-10-05T03:15:48Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Charlotte, the Knight.jpg|thumb|right|Charlotte in her battle uniform]] Charlotte is a former knight and currently the personal bodyguard of Duchess Neomie.

She is the only daughter of [[Alena Capla]] and [[Andoro Capla]]. [[File:Aless Portrait2.jpg|thumb|right|Aless Capla, age 18]] == History == Aless was born in a small Ylatian village called [[Hyalthus]], on the 2nd Day of Summer, in the year [[1432]]. Her mother Alena taught her how to read and write, as well as instill a deep devotion to the Ylatian God [[Sanctris]]. Her father Andoro, a former soldier in the [[Imperial Army]], taught Aless how to protect herself and others through swordsmanship. Unlike the vast majority of humans, Aless's magical powers manifested at a much younger age, but was kept secret by her parents and villagers for her sake. She would not learn of her powers until she was a adult. ===Book One=== On the 30th Day of Spring, 1450, Aless was given a early birthday party by her parents. After years of training, Andoro finally gifted Aless her own sword, crafted by a blacksmith in Florsis and customized with a etching of her name on the blade. That night, Hyalthus was attacked by marauders led by the ruthless Marko, hired by the Cult of Thermanos to abduct Alena. Most of the villagers were killed, including Andoro, and Alena captured. Aless and one family, the Riollos, were the only survivors. It was during the attack Aless's magical power manifested once more, this time through extreme emotional distress, which Aless used to kill a bandit with a Flamethrower attack. == Personality == Aless is a incredibly caring and selfless person. During her life in Hyalthus, she would go around helping other families with their chores and work no matter how hard or dirty they were. She reveled in the work and was proud to help others. Because of this, she was well-respected in the village. Growing up, many boys in Hyalthus would try to covet her affection, to no avail, as Aless was focused on herself and her family than forming a relationship. However, Aless suffers from severe anxiety and self-esteem issues, which she internalized and did not seek help for. These troubles only elevated when she went after Marko's bandits to rescue her mother. Even with powerful allies by her side, Aless still had trouble overcoming her own personal issues. This has had unfortunate consequences for both her and those around her. Aless despises having to fight, but will do so to protect herself, those close to her, or the innocent.

Currently, the two are on a quest to recover several artifacts from being stolen by the Morgash Cult and to find the [[Staff of Asconnes]]. Charlotte's father was the Grand Marshal of the [[Knightly Order of the Mother's Light]], while her mother was a Paladin within the order. Growing up, Charlotte wished to become Francia's greatest knight and become legendary. During her career, she was one of the most promising knights in her order, slaying over a dozen monsters and bringing justice to outlaws. But her promising career came to an end in 1443 when she got into a altercation with some of her brethren, accidentally killing one. Though the normal punishment for such a crime within the Knightly Orders was death, High Marshal Frederic instead banished Charlotte and revoked all her titles and accomplishments. She was forbidden from ever contacting the Mother's Light Order, and she was forbidden from joining any other Knightly Order. Downtrodden and distraught, Charlotte spent the next year turning to vagrancy, earning little money as a laborer or a guard. Her fortunes turned, however, when she saved a nobleman who was being assaulted by thugs in an alley she was spending the night at. The nobleman, who was revealed to be Duke Padilla of Asconnes, rewarded Charlotte by allowing her to join his levy. After five years in his service, Charlotte became a captain of Padilla's personal guard. Shortly after her promotion, on one winter day in 1448, Padilla called upon Charlotte to recover his one and only daughter Neomie, also known as "Snowball," for a private meeting. After finding Snowball and returning to the residences, they found it under attacked by a mysterious group, later to be revealed as the Morgash Cult. Thanks to Charlotte's arrival, she rallied the guards and drove the invaders out, but found that Duke Padilla had been captured. The only clue to his wearabouts lay in a note he had left behind before his capture, addressed to both Charlotte and Neomie, asking them to go to the family's ancestral tomb to recover a priceless family amulet before the Cult finds its location.

Her father bought this outfit for her birthday last year and she fell in love with it immediately. Today was the perfect day to wear such a lovely outfit. After finishing her morning preparations, Aless entered the main room to find her mother and father standing by the main dining table. “Happy Birthday!” They shouted in unison as they threw a handful of colored confetti into the air. “Yay thank you!!!” Aless cried out clapping. “Come here my princess.” happily, father Andoro waved her over for a hug, which Aless happily accepted. “Oh, my little girl is eighteen now! I’m getting so old!” “Come Aless.” Her mother Alena said, grabbing Aless’s attention. “I made your favorite-” “CHOCOLATE PANCAKES!” She shouted. Her father was unfortunately still close enough for her excitement to make his ears ring. The three had a wonderful breakfast- pancakes laced with imported chocolate bits that Andoro had bought from his last trip to the city, oatmeal with strawberries, and fresh milk from their neighbor’s ranch. Aless devoured the pancakes but made sure to eat some oatmeal. It wasn’t something she really enjoyed like pancakes but wanted to make her mother happy. As Aless was finishing the last pancake, Andoro came out of the attic with a finely polished red-wood box. Aless could not hazard a guess to what it was, which made it more exciting for her. Her parents promised her something special for her birthday weeks ago, and thus all the waiting had culminated in this. Andoro invited his daughter to open the box. Inside was a scabbard made from fine leather. “Oh wow. But…I don’t have a sword.” “That you do not.” Andoro replied. “But I hope you carry this with pride when you do get your own sword. Maybe one as good as your old man’s.” “Thank you, mama! Thank you, papa!” Aless shouted and hugged her parents tightly. She was still happy with the gift, even if she didn’t have use for it right now. A scabbard wasn’t something she expected, but it was still a nice gift. The box itself was pretty. “I’m going put this on my desk right away!” “Well, her adulthood has gotten off to a good start.” Alena said as she was cleaning up the table. “Better than mine that’s for sure.” Andoro said, laughing. “Mine too.” Replied Alena. “Well, I think we succeeded as parents in that regard. We made our princess happy. Happy, comfortable, and safe.” “I pray it lasts longer.” Aless came back and hugged her father again. “Do you need any help today?” “Hoho! It’s your day. You don’t have to help your old man. You can stay home and read your books all day if you wanted!” “No, I want to!” Her parents laughed. “Well, no sense arguing. Let’s go!” Andoro said before grabbing his green feathered cap off a rack near the door. --- Everyone in Hyalthus was in a cheery mood. Young kids were playing tag in the heart of the town. Adults were tending to their farms and animals. The elderly was taking in the perfect spring weather and doing their own tasks- ranging from knitting to breaking nuts. Andoro was whistling a merry tune fixing his home’s backyard fence. Aless was on her knees pulling weeds from their garden, enjoying her father’s musical talents. The enchanting tune was interrupted by the noise of an upset infant. “Aless! Mr. Capla!” A blonde-haired girl carrying the infant cried out, waving to them. “Flora!” Aless shouted. She jumped up and ran towards the girl, while at the same time being careful not to trample on any of the vegetables. Aless jumped over the fence and embraced her friend. “Hey there Flora.” Andoro greeted. “Poor little guy sounds grumpy.” “Yeah, little Antony woke up too early and I’m trying to calm him down.” Flora turned to Aless. “Happy birthday best friend!” “Thank you, bestie!” Shouted Aless, hugging Flora again. “Sorry to interrupt you two, but my father sent me to get Mr. Capla. Said that your order is ready.” “Excellent! Come Aless. I’ll need your help carrying it.” Aless was confused. She hadn’t heard of her father making any order, or why he would need one. But she played along, eager to find out what was going on. Flora’s father was the village’s blacksmith, though smithy work was rarely in demand, so he spent his days as a rancher. Today though, he was at work in the forge, repairing some farm tools. “Angelo!” Andoro shouted, greeting his oldest friend as the three of them approached the forge. “Andoro!” The soot-covered man shouted back. He wiped his face with a yellow piece of cloth. “Happy Birthday Aless!” “Thank you, Mr. Riollo.” “I bet you can overtake your old man in combat now.” Andoro laughed heartily at the comment. “Time will tell. Now, about that…order.” “Ah yes! Actually, came yesterday but figured I should hold on to it until today. After all, it is a special order!” Aless’s curiosity only grew. Angelo went into the shed that was adjacent to his forge. Just as soon as he went in, he came out, carrying a medium-sized long box. He was to hand it off to Andoro but refused it. “Give it to my daughter. Let her have the honor.” The box was not heavy. Aless carefully untied the string, then opened the box. Inside was an elaborate piece of cloth shaped like what looked like a sword. Aless unfolded the cloth, revealing a magnificent sword. On the silver pommel was a rose etched into it. Above it, on the grip, was Aless’s name. Aless was speechless. “Happy Birthday my dear girl.” Andoro said, waiting for Aless’s trance to end. “I…Is this a real sword…?” “It is. Ordered it custom made last year in Florsis. When I turned eighteen, my papa gave me my own sword. And his papa before that. Now that you are an adult, it’s my turn to pass on the tradition. This sword signifies that I put all my faith and trust in you and that you will lead our village to even greater heights. To protect its people from those who would do us harm.” Aless said nothing. Her eyes started to water up. “Go ahead. Put it in your new scabbard. Let’s see if it fits.” It fit perfectly like a glove. Flora and Angelo cheered. Aless broke down into tears, grabbing onto her father reminiscent of when she was a child. “I-I-I’m sorry.” Aless tried saying through her sobs. “I shouldn’t-I shouldn’t cry like this!” “There there.” Andoro whispered, patting Aless’s shoulder to comfort her. “It’s okay to cry. I know you’ll just get back up and take on whatever challenges await you.” Out from their view, the family matriarch Alena was observing the whole scene from her front porch. She smiled with tears rolling down her cheeks. ''My little girl…I’m so glad we kept you safe and happy. I hope it stays that way forever.'' a64cb3b1e535a877f5233c3c9567da5a15ab7e67 81 80 2023-03-01T11:35:58Z DarthHaze2 2 Protected "[[Aless, Apostle Ascendant Chapter 1]]" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) wikitext text/x-wiki Lilac-colored leaves rustled in the wind, blowing some of them off the branches.

She dealt with the hard labor and distasteful tasks of being a squire without complaint. As a initiate, she endured the harsh, exhaustive training without fail. When she earned her knight title, she did her duties without pause. Whatever order come from a superior, she carried it out without question no matter how life threatening it was. Even on days where she was sick and exhausted, she never stopped training. She followed every written and unwritten rule that was taught. Charlotte was a good knight, but not a good person. Still reeling from repeated blows to her head, Charlotte found her wrists bounded and kneeling in front of the [[Grand Marshal]] of her order, [[The Order of the Mother’s Light]]. The Marshal was donned in his luxurious white gown, bearing the Order’s crest on the back. The dark red haired, bearded gentlemen glared down towards the battered woman. She showed no emotion as she stared back towards her superior. “The other knights want your head for what you have done.” The Marshal said. “I don’t care. Get this over with and they can have my head..” “Do you have nothing to say for yourself, how you dishonored your own brethren and family?” “I do not. I am guilty. There is nothing to say.” “At least you still have your honor. That is commendable. But it will not save you from your punishment.” “Nor do I want it. I deserve to die for what I have done. Let us be through so I can see the executioner’s axe.” The Marshal returned behind his desk and sat down. Charlotte put her head down, fearing she had no right to look at him for any longer. She hated the waiting. She wanted to hear her punishment now. “Killing one of your brethren in a drunken, hate-filled brawl is a serious crime. As you are well aware, the punishment for killing one of your sworn comrades in dishonorable combat is death.” There was a pause as the Marshal put on his spectacles. “However, I will not grant you death.” Charlotte looked up, stunned at what she had heard. “In the thirty years I have been Marshal of this order, I have never ordered the execution of one of my knights. I will not start tonight, especially not with my very own daughter." “F-father…” “You brought shame to my family name and my legacy. Our scribes will write poorly upon me for this incident. But I cannot in good conscience order your execution. But I cannot let you go unpunished.” A single tear came out of Charlotte’s eye. Her father noticed it quickly. He hadn't seen her daughter shed a tear since she was a child. “My judgement is this- you will be stripped of your title. Your accomplishments in battle will be stricken from our records. Your name stricken from all our Order’s history save for the evil deed you have committed. You are no longer a knight of this Order, and you will never be a knight in any Order across the kingdom…” “No. No please!” “And you are…” The marshal eyes turned red as tears rolled down his cheek, no matter how much he tried to hide it. “You are from this day forward no longer my daughter. You may be of my flesh and blood and that I cannot change, but I will never see you again child.” “You can’t do this!” Charlotte jumped up and shouted. “Kill me please! Let me die!” Two knights barged in and took a hold of Charlotte as they presumed she would get violent. “I’m sorry Charlotte…but this is my judgement. You are free to live out the rest of your days in any fashion you see fit. But you will forever live in shame for what you have done. You will have no family to go to. These are the burdens that will shackle your mortal coil until the Mother finally calls for you and seeks to judge you.” “You’re a bastard!” Charlotte shouted. “I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!” The Marshal turned around in his chair, not wanting to look at his child again. “Men, throw her off our grounds. But do not harm her, for she is of no danger to any of us anymore.” “Yes Marshal.” One of the knights replied. Charlotte was trying to break free from the knights, but she was tired and had little in the way of strength. However, her cursing and shouting did not cease, and the Marshal would hear of it for a bit longer. The door to the Marshal’s sanctuary closed behind the guards. The Marshal looked down from his room towards a cemetery plot located right next to the compound. His eyes were pointed towards one gravestone- one with a small stone statue of a saint wearing armor. He tried to hold back his tears, but some still broke through. “My love…I pray that you will forgive me…” 0cbf2add4c79ed12a5638ca686304b28cb1247b8 0 22 96 2023-03-03T08:04:49Z DarthHaze2 2 Created page with "Humans are but one of the many races that live on Auvropa.

I’m getting so old!” “Come Aless.” Her mother Alena said, grabbing Aless’s attention. “I made your favorite-” “CHOCOLATE PANCAKES!” She shouted. Her father was unfortunately still close enough for her excitement to make his ears ring. The three had a wonderful breakfast- pancakes laced with imported chocolate bits that Andoro had bought from his last trip to the city, oatmeal with strawberries, and fresh milk from their neighbor’s ranch. Aless devoured the pancakes but made sure to eat some oatmeal. It wasn’t something she really enjoyed like pancakes but wanted to make her mother happy. As Aless was finishing the last pancake, Andoro came out of the attic with a finely polished red-wood box. Aless could not hazard a guess to what it was, which made it more exciting for her. Her parents promised her something special for her birthday weeks ago, and thus all the waiting had culminated in this. Andoro invited his daughter to open the box. Inside was a scabbard made from fine leather. “Oh wow. But…I don’t have a sword.” “That you do not.” Andoro replied. “But I hope you carry this with pride when you do get your own sword. Maybe one as good as your old man’s.” “Thank you, mama! Thank you, papa!” Aless shouted and hugged her parents tightly. She was still happy with the gift, even if she didn’t have use for it right now. A scabbard wasn’t something she expected, but it was still a nice gift. The box itself was pretty. “I’m going put this on my desk right away!” “Well, her adulthood has gotten off to a good start.” Alena said as she was cleaning up the table. “Better than mine that’s for sure.” Andoro said, laughing. “Mine too.” Replied Alena. “Well, I think we succeeded as parents in that regard. We made our princess happy. Happy, comfortable, and safe.” “I pray it lasts longer.” Aless came back and hugged her father again. “Do you need any help today?” “Hoho! It’s your day. You don’t have to help your old man. You can stay home and read your books all day if you wanted!” “No, I want to!” Her parents laughed. “Well, no sense arguing. Let’s go!” Andoro said before grabbing his green feathered cap off a rack near the door. --- Everyone in Hyalthus was in a cheery mood. Young kids were playing tag in the heart of the town. Adults were tending to their farms and animals. The elderly was taking in the perfect spring weather and doing their own tasks- ranging from knitting to breaking nuts. Andoro was whistling a merry tune fixing his home’s backyard fence. Aless was on her knees pulling weeds from their garden, enjoying her father’s musical talents. The enchanting tune was interrupted by the noise of an upset infant. “Aless! Mr. Capla!” A blonde-haired girl carrying the infant cried out, waving to them. “Flora!” Aless shouted. She jumped up and ran towards the girl, while at the same time being careful not to trample on any of the vegetables. Aless jumped over the fence and embraced her friend. “Hey there Flora.” Andoro greeted. “Poor little guy sounds grumpy.” “Yeah, little Antony woke up too early and I’m trying to calm him down.” Flora turned to Aless. “Happy birthday best friend!” “Thank you, bestie!” Shouted Aless, hugging Flora again. “Sorry to interrupt you two, but my father sent me to get Mr. Capla. Said that your order is ready.” “Excellent! Come Aless. I’ll need your help carrying it.” Aless was confused. She hadn’t heard of her father making any order, or why he would need one. But she played along, eager to find out what was going on. Flora’s father was the village’s blacksmith, though smithy work was rarely in demand, so he spent his days as a rancher. Today though, he was at work in the forge, repairing some farm tools. “Angelo!” Andoro shouted, greeting his oldest friend as the three of them approached the forge. “Andoro!” The soot-covered man shouted back. He wiped his face with a yellow piece of cloth. “Happy Birthday Aless!” “Thank you, Mr. Riollo.” “I bet you can overtake your old man in combat now.” Andoro laughed heartily at the comment. “Time will tell. Now, about that…order.” “Ah yes! Actually, came yesterday but figured I should hold on to it until today. After all, it is a special order!” Aless’s curiosity only grew. Angelo went into the shed that was adjacent to his forge. Just as soon as he went in, he came out, carrying a medium-sized long box. He was to hand it off to Andoro but refused it. “Give it to my daughter. Let her have the honor.” The box was not heavy. Aless carefully untied the string, then opened the box. Inside was an elaborate piece of cloth shaped like what looked like a sword. Aless unfolded the cloth, revealing a magnificent sword. On the silver pommel was a rose etched into it. Above it, on the grip, was Aless’s name. Aless was speechless. “Happy Birthday my dear girl.” Andoro said, waiting for Aless’s trance to end. “I…Is this a real sword…?” “It is. Ordered it custom made last year in Florsis. When I turned eighteen, my papa gave me my own sword. And his papa before that. Now that you are an adult, it’s my turn to pass on the tradition. This sword signifies that I put all my faith and trust in you and that you will lead our village to even greater heights. To protect its people from those who would do us harm.” Aless said nothing. Her eyes started to water up. “Go ahead. Put it in your new scabbard. Let’s see if it fits.” It fit perfectly like a glove. Flora and Angelo cheered. Aless broke down into tears, grabbing onto her father reminiscent of when she was a child. “I-I-I’m sorry.” Aless tried saying through her sobs. “I shouldn’t-I shouldn’t cry like this!” “There there.” Andoro whispered, patting Aless’s shoulder to comfort her. “It’s okay to cry. I know you’ll just get back up and take on whatever challenges await you.” Out from their view, the family matriarch Alena was observing the whole scene from her front porch. She smiled with tears rolling down her cheeks. ''My little girl…I’m so glad we kept you safe and happy. I hope it stays that way forever.''

It was her father’s weekly review of Dehl’s garrison, and she had to accompany him once again. She did not mind meeting the troops specifically. She found some of the soldiers in the castle garrison were a lot more entertaining to talk to than some of the stuffy courtiers or nobles that visited. But she found the whole ceremony boring, and she preferred learning to be a soldier from Captain Alonso. Dante Dehlino, the Duke of Dehl and Dalia’s father, donned his polished steel chest plate etched with the insignia of the dukedom- a shield donning a yellow sunflower with two crossing blades behind it. The soldiers wore generic-looking steel armor, but still donned a checkerboard pattern gambeson of the town’s colors- light blue and yellow. All of this was a stark contrast from what Dahlia was wearing- a casual blue long tunic with white leggings and brown high boots. The soldiers didn’t seem to mind it, but her father vocally disapproved of the attire as more unprofessionalism. The two entered the gate house on the north-eastern wing of the walls. There they were met by a dark-skin, bald man with a greying goatee. He was also wearing a special chest plate similar to the Duke but not as polished or well-kept as the Duke’s. “Captain Alonso.” The two shook hands. “Greetings milord. And nice to see you again Dahlia.” “It’s always a pleasure captain.” Dahlia said while they shook hands. “Anything from the north we should be worried about?” “Been seeing some large birds out in the distance with the telescope. Can’t see them too well but likely predator birds migrating east. Other than that, very quiet and boring. Still no traffic from the Thermosians.” “Again?” Dante sighed with disappointment. “It’s been almost two months since the last caravan came through. I’ve been itching to pick up some more ingredients for my pantry.” Dahlia shared her father’s disappointment. Merchant caravans from Thermosia were always a treat when they stopped by Dehl on their way to the larger Ylatian cities in the south, showing off their food, art, and culture with the people. Usually, they stayed put for the winter due to dangerous conditions traveling the mountains that separated the two nations, but spring was almost over and no caravans still came. “May I see those birds?” The Duke asked. “Of course, milord. Right this way.” The two walked upstairs, past one of the two machines that control Dehl’s northern gate. The soldier on duty saluted the three as they passed. On the second floor of the tower was one of the murder holes used to watch over the north, the room’s wall was filled with various crossbows and rifles for the defenders. A telescope was set up by the largest hole for daytime lookouts. One of which was in the tower cleaning the telescope but stopped to salute the captain and the royal family. Dante got a napkin and cleaned off the eyeplace. He took a peak and noticed the birds the captain mentioned. But unlike the captain who reported that the men could only see the outline, he could see more than an outline, and it horrified him. “Alonso…they aren’t birds.” “I’m sorry milord?” The duke invited the captain to look for himself. The captain saw the “birds.” They looked more like humans, but with razor sharp talons that replacing their hands and feet. Flesh-colored wings with white feathers protruded from their backs. Though he could not see their faces if they still retained their human qualities, it did not matter. They were coming towards Dehl. They were coming fast in large numbers. And they were likely hostile. “What the…?” The duke turned Alonso to him. Take Dalia and retreat to the keep. I’ll lead the defense.” “Father? I can help.” “No, protect your mother. Alonso, protect them both.” Alonso saluted with a fist on his chest. “Proudly milord.” The duke started barking orders. The bells in the tower above blasted alive. Dalia tried to get his attention, but to no avail. Alonso grabbed her hand and forced her to go with him. “Please milady. This will be over soon I promise.” He said, trying to reassure the increasingly nervous Dalia. Once outside, the two witnessed people running off the streets. Most people in Dehl knew the two bells from the towers signaled a dangerous encounter was occurring, though the last time it was used was almost two decades ago. Soldiers came pouring out of a barracks near the walls, hastily putting on their armor and gathering their weapons. Some soldiers already on duty were trying to escort people back to their homes. Gunfire erupted from behind them, but they paid no heed. Getting to the Dehlino estate was on both Alonso and Dalia’s minds. They took a shortcut to avoid the main highway, opting to take smaller roads and alleys where foot traffic would be minimal. But it turned out to be a mistake, as one of the small residential footpaths that Alonso hoped would shortcut was locked up with a large iron chain and lock. “Dammit!” He shouted, finally letting go of Dahlia’s arm. He had forgotten the park was closed for renovations, and he didn’t have the key to open it. Suddenly an explosion startled them. The origins were unknown, but it confirmed that they were indeed under attack. Some of the humanoid birds were now above the town, though they hadn’t noticed the two below. “Come on! We’ll have to try another alley!” Alonso shouted. “This is the shortest route though!” “Unfortunately, Sanctris isn’t on our side today. Move it!” They got back on the road. Another explosion rocked the area and again they did not know where it came from. Three of the attackers flew over them and spotted them, swooping down to attack their prey. Alonso, however, noticed them immediately and pulled out the claymore strapped to his back. The first bird was defeated easily, with Alonso using all the strength he could muster to lift the blade above his head to stab the beast before it could attack him. The other two dived down towards Dalia. She was unarmed, but she avoided their sweeping attack. One of them crashed violently into the ground, seemingly dying on impact. The other avoided the ground and flew right back into the air. Alonso regained his composure, though his arms ached greatly after using his sword in that way. The creature dived back down towards Dalia, its razor-sharp talons ready to rend the flesh of the young woman, when Alonso jumped in front of the Duchess. The creature’s talons stabbed through his armor, “Alonso!” Dalia cried out. The creature pulled its talons out of his body and followed-up with a swiped attack across the veteran’s face. Alonso dropped his sword and fell, clutching his injury. The creature landed on top of him, inflicting more wounds this time on his legs, and unleashed a flurry of swipes to break through the armor. Dalia rushed for Alonso’s sword, not thinking of her own safety. She picked up the massive sword as if it was light as a feather. The creature was too occupied with trying to open the veteran’s armor for it to notice the young woman with the sword, and it paid the price. Dalia swung the blade, cleaving through the torso and rendering it in two pieces. Dalia dropped the sword and tended to the soldier. His face had a terrible cut on the cheek, almost along the eye though thankfully missed it. However, he was clearly in agony from it. “Y-you should’ve…ran…!” Alonso berated. “I’m not leaving you to die here. I’ll take you back to my home for treatment.” “I’ll just…slow you down milady.” Another explosion, this time they witnessed it. One of the monsters flew right into a building nearby at high speed, blowing a massive hole in the roof. “Shit! Get out of here!” Alonso shouted. “Forgive me for my harsh language, but please shut up Alonso and let me do this.” Dalia lifted Alonso and put his arm around her. “You’re too fucking stubborn.” The captain again berated. “Fine!” ae05230aed80469a1093708ec8862258f49b46d1 104 103 2023-04-12T11:52:01Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki === CONTENT WARNING === ===== Contains harsh language and extreme violence.

Usually, they stayed put for the winter due to dangerous conditions traveling the mountains that separated the two nations, but spring was almost over and no caravans still came. “May I see those birds?” The Duke asked. “Of course, milord. Right this way.” The two walked upstairs, past one of the two machines that control Dehl’s northern gate. The soldier on duty saluted the three as they passed. On the second floor of the tower was one of the murder holes used to watch over the north, the room’s wall was filled with various crossbows and rifles for the defenders. A telescope was set up by the largest hole for daytime lookouts. One of which was in the tower cleaning the telescope but stopped to salute the captain and the royal family. Dante got a napkin and cleaned off the eyeplace. He took a peak and noticed the birds the captain mentioned. But unlike the captain who reported that the men could only see the outline, he could see more than an outline, and it horrified him. “Alonso…they aren’t birds.” “I’m sorry milord?” The duke invited the captain to look for himself. The captain saw the “birds.” They looked more like humans, but with razor sharp talons that replacing their hands and feet. Flesh-colored wings with white feathers protruded from their backs. Though he could not see their faces if they still retained their human qualities, it did not matter. They were coming towards Dehl. They were coming fast in large numbers. And they were likely hostile. “What the…?” The duke turned Alonso to him. Take Dalia and retreat to the keep. I’ll lead the defense.” “Father? I can help.” “No, protect your mother. Alonso, protect them both.” Alonso saluted with a fist on his chest. “Proudly milord.” The duke started barking orders. The bells in the tower above blasted alive. Dalia tried to get his attention, but to no avail. Alonso grabbed her hand and forced her to go with him. “Please milady. This will be over soon I promise.” He said, trying to reassure the increasingly nervous Dalia. Once outside, the two witnessed people running off the streets. Most people in Dehl knew the two bells from the towers signaled a dangerous encounter was occurring, though the last time it was used was almost two decades ago. Soldiers came pouring out of a barracks near the walls, hastily putting on their armor and gathering their weapons. Some soldiers already on duty were trying to escort people back to their homes. Gunfire erupted from behind them, but they paid no heed. Getting to the Dehlino estate was on both Alonso and Dalia’s minds. They took a shortcut to avoid the main highway, opting to take smaller roads and alleys where foot traffic would be minimal. But it turned out to be a mistake, as one of the small residential footpaths that Alonso hoped would shortcut was locked up with a large iron chain and lock. “Dammit!” He shouted, finally letting go of Dahlia’s arm. He had forgotten the park was closed for renovations, and he didn’t have the key to open it. Suddenly an explosion startled them. The origins were unknown, but it confirmed that they were indeed under attack. Some of the humanoid birds were now above the town, though they hadn’t noticed the two below. “Come on! We’ll have to try another alley!” Alonso shouted. “This is the shortest route though!” “Unfortunately, Sanctris isn’t on our side today. Move it!” They got back on the road. Another explosion rocked the area and again they did not know where it came from. Three of the attackers flew over them and spotted them, swooping down to attack their prey. Alonso, however, noticed them immediately and pulled out the claymore strapped to his back. The first bird was defeated easily, with Alonso using all the strength he could muster to lift the blade above his head to stab the beast before it could attack him. The other two dived down towards Dalia. She was unarmed, but she avoided their sweeping attack. One of them crashed violently into the ground, seemingly dying on impact. The other avoided the ground and flew right back into the air. Alonso regained his composure, though his arms ached greatly after using his sword in that way. The creature dived back down towards Dalia, its razor-sharp talons ready to rend the flesh of the young woman, when Alonso jumped in front of the Duchess. The creature’s talons stabbed through his armor, “Alonso!” Dalia cried out. The creature pulled its talons out of his body and followed-up with a swiped attack across the veteran’s face. Alonso dropped his sword and fell, clutching his injury. The creature landed on top of him, inflicting more wounds this time on his legs, and unleashed a flurry of swipes to break through the armor. Dalia rushed for Alonso’s sword, not thinking of her own safety. She picked up the massive sword as if it was light as a feather. The creature was too occupied with trying to open the veteran’s armor for it to notice the young woman with the sword, and it paid the price. Dalia swung the blade, cleaving through the torso and rendering it in two pieces. Dalia dropped the sword and tended to the soldier. His face had a terrible cut on the cheek, almost along the eye though thankfully missed it. However, he was clearly in agony from it. “Y-you should’ve…ran…!” Alonso berated. “I’m not leaving you to die here. I’ll take you back to my home for treatment.” “I’ll just…slow you down milady.” Another explosion, this time they witnessed it. One of the monsters flew right into a building nearby at high speed, blowing a massive hole in the roof. “Shit! Get out of here!” Alonso shouted. “Forgive me for my harsh language, but please shut up Alonso and let me do this.” Dalia lifted Alonso and put his arm around her. “You’re too fucking stubborn.” The captain again berated. “Fine!” 0a77f4bd1acffcffe34ae021657bcfb89a03838c 0 25 107 2023-04-23T12:23:25Z DarthHaze2 2 Created page with "Olesia Kutokun is a Lusalian who was once a former princess, a former gladiator, and currently is acting as a self-proclaimed Hero of Lusaland. == Early Life == Olesia was born in the 22nd Day of Summer, 1478 CE as the youngest daughter of King Casellion II and Queen Odessia. == Powers & Abilities == * Superhuman Strength * Superhuman Speed * Superhuman Agility * Superhuman Stamina * Flight * Hand-to-Hand Expertise === Known Spells === * Flamethrower * Scald * Harden..." wikitext text/x-wiki Olesia Kutokun is a Lusalian who was once a former princess, a former gladiator, and currently is acting as a self-proclaimed Hero of Lusaland. == Early Life == Olesia was born in the 22nd Day of Summer, 1478 CE as the youngest daughter of King Casellion II and Queen Odessia. == Powers & Abilities == * Superhuman Strength * Superhuman Speed * Superhuman Agility * Superhuman Stamina * Flight * Hand-to-Hand Expertise === Known Spells === * Flamethrower * Scald * Harden * Soak * Barrier * Reflect 23acada2e2d0a2dcae199688f47f1e68682e8a09 108 107 2023-04-23T12:23:43Z DarthHaze2 2 Protected "[[Olesia Kustoskun]]" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) wikitext text/x-wiki Olesia Kutokun is a Lusalian who was once a former princess, a former gladiator, and currently is acting as a self-proclaimed Hero of Lusaland. == Early Life == Olesia was born in the 22nd Day of Summer, 1478 CE as the youngest daughter of King Casellion II and Queen Odessia. == Powers & Abilities == * Superhuman Strength * Superhuman Speed * Superhuman Agility * Superhuman Stamina * Flight * Hand-to-Hand Expertise === Known Spells === * Flamethrower * Scald * Harden * Soak * Barrier * Reflect 23acada2e2d0a2dcae199688f47f1e68682e8a09 0 27 115 2023-07-19T10:53:00Z DarthHaze2 2 Created page with "{{Real Book Summary |image=BK-cover-Lord of Souls.jpg |release=September 27, 2011 |setting=[[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]],<br>[[Lore:Planes of Oblivion|Planes of Oblivion]],<br>[[Lore:Umbriel|Umbriel]] |period={{Year|4E 48}} |authorlink=[[General:Greg Keyes|Greg Keyes]] |author=[[General:Greg Keyes|Greg Keyes]] |publisher=[[wikipedia:Del Rey Books|Del Rey Books]] |isbn=978-0-345-50802-7<br>0-345-50802-5 |pages=316 |previous=The Infernal City }}" wikitext text/x-wiki {{Real Book Summary |image=BK-cover-Lord of Souls.jpg |release=September 27, 2011 |setting=[[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]],<br>[[Lore:Planes of Oblivion|Planes of Oblivion]],<br>[[Lore:Umbriel|Umbriel]] |period={{Year|4E 48}} |authorlink=[[General:Greg Keyes|Greg Keyes]] |author=[[General:Greg Keyes|Greg Keyes]] |publisher=[[wikipedia:Del Rey Books|Del Rey Books]] |isbn=978-0-345-50802-7<br>0-345-50802-5 |pages=316 |previous=The Infernal City }} d8d26d9e8b96b643f87570577745dd4e14a83662 118 115 2023-07-19T10:58:36Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Book |image= |release= |setting= |period= |author= |publisher= |isbn= |pages= |previous= }} 48f04d104c422937f493491c157aabf89e8d1f2b 119 118 2023-07-19T11:03:00Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Book |image= |release= |setting= |period= |author= |publisher= |isbn= |pages= |previous= }} ''Beyond the Winter Veil'' is a upcoming novel by DarthHaze about the ad 67925e33673cb5d47ee177b39ae602f5ed710550 124 119 2023-07-19T11:04:59Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Real Book Summary |image=BK-cover-The Infernal City.jpg |release=November 24, 2009 |setting=[[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]],<br>[[Lore:Planes of Oblivion|Planes of Oblivion]],<br>[[Lore:Umbriel|Umbriel]] |period=circa {{Year|4E 40}} |authorlink=[[wikipedia:Gregory Keyes|Gregory Keyes]] |author=Gregory Keyes |publisher=[[wikipedia:Del Rey Books|Del Rey Books]] (US)<br>[[wikipedia:Titan Books|Titan Books]] (UK) |isbn=978-0-345-50801-0 (US)<br>978-1-84856-686-6 (UK) |pages=288 |next=Lord of Souls |description=Four decades after the Oblivion crisis, Tamriel is threatened anew by an all-consuming evil }} ''Beyond the Winter Veil'' is a upcoming novel by DarthHaze about the ad 409e6603bfe1f44f37a45b4d978b7d05f8fdca91 125 124 2023-07-19T11:07:39Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki {| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" | {{{subj|Albert Einstein}}} |- ! colspan="2" | [[File:{{{img|Albert_Einstein_Head.jpg}}}|200px]] |- | colspan="2" style="text-align: center" | <small>{{{capt|Albert Einstein picture woohoo}}}</small> |- !

The fortress of Frostholm was proof of that. A bastion against the harsh winter that blanketed the region on a near daily basis. Most who have heard of it would consider it a form of punishment for anyone living there, but for someone like Charlotte, it was a chance at a new life. She moved here three years ago, entering the service of the ruler, Lord Ambroise Padilla. Since then, the respect she had lost was slowly coming back, though that respect came from the lowly militiamen and peasants that called this place home. But it did not bother her one bit. Afterall, it was better than living on the streets working as muscle for loan sharks. Today was a typical spring day for Eldora, though in Elodra spring was nothing more than a name. Though the skies were clear and the sun was shining brightly on the snow-covered landscape, the air was still blowing and delivering a nasty feeling chill to the fortress. It was Charlotte’s off day, one of the few she gets a season, so she chose to spend her day meditating alone in her chambers. The only sound was the chilly wind outside and the spark of torches that kept her room warm. Her thoughts were on the lessons she had learned all her life, from her days as a young Page to lessons she had learned while living Eldora. But her thoughts would constantly be interrupted by vivid reenactments of that fateful night, where she brutally murdered her comrade in front of everyone. The sight of blood pooling on the floorboards behind his fractured skull, the blood on Charlotte’s fists, the screams from her fellow knights restraining her. Each time it felt as real as it was that unfortunate night. And just like each time, Charlotte kept meditating on it, as a form of punishment for herself, no matter how unsettling and painful it was to relive those moments. “Miss Charlotte?” A militiaman opened her chamber’s door without knocking. He was a new conscript named Parlen. He was a fresh face lad, barely old enough to have hair on his chin. He found her on her knees, trembling, but she stopped when he called her name. “I-I’m t-terribly sorry for interrupting.” The young man was clearly nervous now, worried he would be chewed out by the red-haired woman. “You weren’t interrupting anything important.” Charlotte said, getting up. “What is it?” “Lord Ambroise sent me for you. Said it’s urgent. He wants to come to his private quarters.” Charlotte thanked him. Parlen responded by saluting, keeping the door open for his superior. The two walked down Frostholm Castle’s private hall, where the important castle servants lived. Charlotte’s room was dead in the middle of a row of ten doors. She was the only soldier in the garrison who was rewarded with their own room. Lord Ambroise’s private chambers required going up some stairs at the north end of the hall. The staircase itself was shaped like a snake coiling on a tree. Those who were not used to it would easily get disoriented. All of it was constructed on the purpose of protecting the private residence of the lord. Once they reached half-way up the tower, they had to pass by a stone door that could not be opened by normal means from the outside. Charlotte was one of the few who knew how to open it. Parlen and some other soldiers knew of its existence but had no access to it. Though in this case, the door was still open from when Parlen met with Ambroise. Only when Charlotte passed through did the doors close. Lord Ambroise was wearing his special outfit- an elegant long blue coat with little cuts of silver sewn into the fabric. His white-silver hair was brightened up by the Sun outside. The smell of imported perfume gave the room a pleasant, musky scent. He was cleaning a glass case that was behind his desk, but none could truly see its contents from the room’s entrance. Charlotte went down on one knee- a sign of respect when approaching one that was above one’s place in life. Ambroise let her stay in that position for a minute longer as he finished his task. “You may rise.” Ambroise said as he tossed a rag. As Charlotte got up, Ambroise took a seat on his “throne” made from the finest Lusalian wood and was recently polished. “Charlotte. Go fetch Neomie for me.” “Milord?” “Are you questioning me Charlotte?” “I would never.” Charlotte put her head down. “I thought you wanted me for something important.” “Is my one and only daughter not important?” “I did not mean that milord and I apologize if I have offended you. I thought this would be a task you would send one of lower ranked soldiers to accomplish.” “You are correct in that assessment, but this is no normal matter. I ask you because you are the most stern and protective of my guard. I know you would do your task without any protest and will accomplish it in a timely matter. And I need Neomie to come home immediately and safely.” “Very well milord.” Charlotte put her head back up and bowed. “She told me that she would visit Frostholm’s public library, but I feel that is a front for her true intentions. She has always been the most terrible liar. I suspect she is somewhere mingling with the commonfolk.” “I will bring her back as swiftly as I can.” Charlotte responded. Ambroise gestured to her to leave and pressed a device behind his desk that opened the store door behind Charlotte. Charlotte bowed one last time before turning away. Ambroise clicked on the device again to close the door. He proceeded to open one of the shelves in his desk, revealing a letter, and placed it on the desk. The town surrounding Frostholm was busier than usual. Cloudless days like these were uncommon so when they did happen, it allowed people to leave their homes and dilly-dally around. People would use the opportunity to play cards or board games with friends. Children took advantage by playing in the snow with others or their pets. Many of them left the walls as hunters, to find a game to last a few weeks. Charlotte traversed the town in her assuming garb- a long fur coat that covered everything from her neck to her knees. The chilly wind was always a bother on Charlotte’s ears and causing discomfort, so she wore a fur cloak over her head to protect them from the chill. Her first destination was indeed the library. A humble place with only a few books, mostly cheap mystery, or adventure novels, but also home to some history books, to give people something to read when forced inside their homes. Like Ambroise said, Charlotte did not find the young woman. But the librarian gave Charlotte directions to Neomie’s location and found that she did not have to go far. A few buildings down were a playground where Frostholm’s children gathered and played with each other. Neomie was playing alongside them, some kind of stick and ball game that Charlotte knew Neomie was fond of. Neomie was on top of a dirt hill with a leather glove in one hand and a leather ball in the other. Across from her was a kid of about ten years old with a large wooden stick that looked more like a blunt weapon than a toy. Behind him were two other children, one in an uncomfortable squatting position and the other standing behind him. Neomie threw the ball towards the kids, and the one with the weapon swung, contacting the ball. A loud crack came from the stick and the ball soared high in the air. All the kids playing and watching started to cheer as it soared into the sky and quickly came back down towards Charlotte’s direction. She tracked it with her eyes, waiting for it to come down close. As it did, she held out her arm with the palm of her hand facing upwards. She caught it, though it was not a pleasant feeling as it landed in her hand. If the ball were any heavier, it would’ve likely broken her hand. “Nice catch!” Neomie cheered loudly. The kids cheering was almost drowning out hers. “Can we have the ball back please?” Charlotte threw the ball back into the playground and revealed her face. Neomie’s smile turned at once upon seeing the always serious-looking red-haired knight. “Lady Neomie. Your father requires you to come back home as soon as possible. I am here to escort you.” “What does he want now? Can it wait?” “No. It’s urgent and requires you immediately. He gave me permission to drag you home if need be.” Charlotte lied about the last part but felt like it would work on Neomie. “I do not think a young lady of your status would dare be embarrassed like that.” Neomie sighed. “Fine! Let me say goodbye to my friends. Who knows when I’ll see them again?” “Very well but be quick.” Charlotte put her hood back on as her ears had already started to ache a bit. Neomie skipped over to the group of children. All of them were verbally disappointed when Neomie told them the news. Charlotte could not hear what was being said, but when the children started to cheer told her she was going to wait a little bit longer. In an instance, ice shards were conjured from Neomie’s hands, floating around her. The young wizard gestured her arms towards the skies, with the shards following her directions. When they were far enough distance for Neomie, she closed her hands, and the shards blew up one by one. Small, ice crystals then rained down harmlessly at the children. The children cheered and jumped to catch the ice. Charlotte nodded disapprovingly. She did not understand the joy. “Bye Snowball!” Many of the children cried out. ''Snowball. What a stupid name.'' 2d794715ffc6aa9d1b234ca7f6d52ad5ec7ef5ac 135 134 2023-07-21T12:40:14Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki The Eldorian Mountains was a harsh wintery region where only the most resilient of humans could live. The fortress of Frostholm was proof of that. A bastion against the harsh winter that blanketed the region on a near daily basis. Most who have heard of it would consider it a form of punishment for anyone living there, but for someone like Charlotte, it was a chance at a new life. She moved here three years ago, entering the service of the ruler, Lord Ambroise Padilla. Since then, the respect she had lost was slowly coming back, though that respect came from the lowly militiamen and peasants that called this place home. But it did not bother her one bit. Afterall, it was better than living on the streets working as muscle for loan sharks. Today was a typical spring day for Eldora, though in Elodra spring was nothing more than a name. Though the skies were clear and the sun was shining brightly on the snow-covered landscape, the air was still blowing and delivering a nasty feeling chill to the fortress. It was Charlotte’s off day, one of the few she gets a season, so she chose to spend her day meditating alone in her chambers. The only sound was the chilly wind outside and the spark of torches that kept her room warm. Her thoughts were on the lessons she had learned all her life, from her days as a young Page to lessons she had learned while living Eldora. But her thoughts would constantly be interrupted by vivid reenactments of that fateful night, where she brutally murdered her comrade in front of everyone. The sight of blood pooling on the floorboards behind his fractured skull, the blood on Charlotte’s fists, the screams from her fellow knights restraining her. Each time it felt as real as it was that unfortunate night. And just like each time, Charlotte kept meditating on it, as a form of punishment for herself, no matter how unsettling and painful it was to relive those moments. “Miss Charlotte?” A militiaman opened her chamber’s door without knocking. He was a new conscript named Parlen. He was a fresh face lad, barely old enough to have hair on his chin. He found her on her knees, trembling, but she stopped when he called her name. “I-I’m t-terribly sorry for interrupting.” The young man was clearly nervous now, worried he would be chewed out by the red-haired woman. “You weren’t interrupting anything important.” Charlotte said, getting up. “What is it?” “Lord Ambroise sent me for you. Said it’s urgent. He wants to come to his private quarters.” Charlotte thanked him. Parlen responded by saluting, keeping the door open for his superior. The two walked down Frostholm Castle’s private hall, where the important castle servants lived. Charlotte’s room was dead in the middle of a row of ten doors. She was the only soldier in the garrison who was rewarded with their own room. Lord Ambroise’s private chambers required going up some stairs at the north end of the hall. The staircase itself was shaped like a snake coiling on a tree. Those who were not used to it would easily get disoriented. All of it was constructed on the purpose of protecting the private residence of the lord. Once they reached half-way up the tower, they had to pass by a stone door that could not be opened by normal means from the outside. Charlotte was one of the few who knew how to open it. Parlen and some other soldiers knew of its existence but had no access to it. Though in this case, the door was still open from when Parlen met with Ambroise. Only when Charlotte passed through did the doors close. Lord Ambroise was wearing his special outfit- an elegant long blue coat with little cuts of silver sewn into the fabric. His white-silver hair was brightened up by the Sun outside. The smell of imported perfume gave the room a pleasant, musky scent. He was cleaning a glass case that was behind his desk, but none could truly see its contents from the room’s entrance. Charlotte went down on one knee- a sign of respect when approaching one that was above one’s place in life. Ambroise let her stay in that position for a minute longer as he finished his task. “You may rise.” Ambroise said as he tossed a rag. As Charlotte got up, Ambroise took a seat on his “throne” made from the finest Lusalian wood and was recently polished. “Charlotte. Go fetch Neomie for me.” “Milord?” “Are you questioning me Charlotte?” “I would never.” Charlotte put her head down. “I thought you wanted me for something important.” “Is my one and only daughter not important?” “I did not mean that milord and I apologize if I have offended you. I thought this would be a task you would send one of lower ranked soldiers to accomplish.” “You are correct in that assessment, but this is no normal matter. I ask you because you are the most stern and protective of my guard. I know you would do your task without any protest and will accomplish it in a timely matter. And I need Neomie to come home immediately and safely.” “Very well milord.” Charlotte put her head back up and bowed. “She told me that she would visit Frostholm’s public library, but I feel that is a front for her true intentions. She has always been the most terrible liar. I suspect she is somewhere mingling with the commonfolk.” “I will bring her back as swiftly as I can.” Charlotte responded. Ambroise gestured to her to leave and pressed a device behind his desk that opened the store door behind Charlotte. Charlotte bowed one last time before turning away. Ambroise clicked on the device again to close the door. He proceeded to open one of the shelves in his desk, revealing a letter, and placed it on the desk. -------------------------------------------- The town surrounding Frostholm was busier than usual. Cloudless days like these were uncommon so when they did happen, it allowed people to leave their homes and dilly-dally around. People would use the opportunity to play cards or board games with friends. Children took advantage by playing in the snow with others or their pets. Many of them left the walls as hunters, to find a game to last a few weeks. Charlotte traversed the town in her assuming garb- a long fur coat that covered everything from her neck to her knees. The chilly wind was always a bother on Charlotte’s ears and causing discomfort, so she wore a fur cloak over her head to protect them from the chill. Her first destination was indeed the library. A humble place with only a few books, mostly cheap mystery, or adventure novels, but also home to some history books, to give people something to read when forced inside their homes. Like Ambroise said, Charlotte did not find the young woman. But the librarian gave Charlotte directions to Neomie’s location and found that she did not have to go far. A few buildings down were a playground where Frostholm’s children gathered and played with each other. Neomie was playing alongside them, some kind of stick and ball game that Charlotte knew Neomie was fond of. Neomie was on top of a dirt hill with a leather glove in one hand and a leather ball in the other. Across from her was a kid of about ten years old with a large wooden stick that looked more like a blunt weapon than a toy. Behind him were two other children, one in an uncomfortable squatting position and the other standing behind him. Neomie threw the ball towards the kids, and the one with the weapon swung, contacting the ball. A loud crack came from the stick and the ball soared high in the air. All the kids playing and watching started to cheer as it soared into the sky and quickly came back down towards Charlotte’s direction. She tracked it with her eyes, waiting for it to come down close. As it did, she held out her arm with the palm of her hand facing upwards. She caught it, though it was not a pleasant feeling as it landed in her hand. If the ball were any heavier, it would’ve likely broken her hand. “Nice catch!” Neomie cheered loudly. The kids cheering was almost drowning out hers. “Can we have the ball back please?” Charlotte threw the ball back into the playground and revealed her face.

He was cleaning a glass case that was behind his desk, but none could truly see its contents from the room’s entrance. Charlotte went down on one knee- a sign of respect when approaching one that was above one’s place in life. Ambroise let her stay in that position for a minute longer as he finished his task. “You may rise.” Ambroise said as he tossed a rag. As Charlotte got up, Ambroise took a seat on his “throne” made from the finest Lusalian wood and was recently polished. “Charlotte. Go fetch Neomie for me.” “Milord?” “Are you questioning me Charlotte?” “I would never.” Charlotte put her head down. “I thought you wanted me for something important.” “Is my one and only daughter not important?” “I did not mean that milord and I apologize if I have offended you. I thought this would be a task you would send one of lower ranked soldiers to accomplish.” “You are correct in that assessment, but this is no normal matter. I ask you because you are the most stern and protective of my guard. I know you would do your task without any protest and will accomplish it in a timely matter. And I need Neomie to come home immediately and safely.” “Very well milord.” Charlotte put her head back up and bowed. “She told me that she would visit Frostholm’s public library, but I feel that is a front for her true intentions. She has always been the most terrible liar. I suspect she is somewhere mingling with the commonfolk.” “I will bring her back as swiftly as I can.” Charlotte responded. Ambroise gestured to her to leave and pressed a device behind his desk that opened the store door behind Charlotte. Charlotte bowed one last time before turning away. Ambroise clicked on the device again to close the door. He proceeded to open one of the shelves in his desk, revealing a letter, and placed it on the desk. -------------------------------------------- The town surrounding Frostholm was busier than usual. Cloudless days like these were uncommon so when they did happen, it allowed people to leave their homes and dilly-dally around. People would use the opportunity to play cards or board games with friends. Children took advantage by playing in the snow with others or their pets. Many of them left the walls as hunters, to find a game to last a few weeks. Charlotte traversed the town in her assuming garb- a long fur coat that covered everything from her neck to her knees. The chilly wind was always a bother on Charlotte’s ears and causing discomfort, so she wore a fur cloak over her head to protect them from the chill. Her first destination was indeed the library. A humble place with only a few books, mostly cheap mystery, or adventure novels, but also home to some history books, to give people something to read when forced inside their homes. Like Ambroise said, Charlotte did not find the young woman. But the librarian gave Charlotte directions to Neomie’s location and found that she did not have to go far. A few buildings down were a playground where Frostholm’s children gathered and played with each other. Neomie was playing alongside them, some kind of stick and ball game that Charlotte knew Neomie was fond of. Neomie was on top of a dirt hill with a leather glove in one hand and a leather ball in the other. Across from her was a kid of about ten years old with a large wooden stick that looked more like a blunt weapon than a toy. Behind him were two other children, one in an uncomfortable squatting position and the other standing behind him. Neomie threw the ball towards the kids, and the one with the weapon swung, contacting the ball. A loud crack came from the stick and the ball soared high in the air. All the kids playing and watching started to cheer as it soared into the sky and quickly came back down towards Charlotte’s direction. She tracked it with her eyes, waiting for it to come down close. As it did, she held out her arm with the palm of her hand facing upwards. She caught it, though it was not a pleasant feeling as it landed in her hand. If the ball were any heavier, it would’ve likely broken her hand. “Nice catch!” Neomie cheered loudly. The kids cheering was almost drowning out hers. “Can we have the ball back please?” Charlotte threw the ball back into the playground and revealed her face. Neomie’s smile turned at once upon seeing the always serious-looking red-haired knight. “Lady Neomie. Your father requires you to come back home as soon as possible. I am here to escort you.” “What does he want now? Can it wait?” “No. It’s urgent and requires you immediately. He gave me permission to drag you home if need be.” Charlotte lied about the last part but felt like it would work on Neomie. “I do not think a young lady of your status would dare be embarrassed like that.” Neomie sighed. “Fine! Let me say goodbye to my friends. Who knows when I’ll see them again?” “Very well but be quick.” Charlotte put her hood back on as her ears had already started to ache a bit. Neomie skipped over to the group of children. All of them were verbally disappointed when Neomie told them the news. Charlotte could not hear what was being said, but when the children started to cheer told her she was going to wait a little bit longer. In an instance, ice shards were conjured from Neomie’s hands, floating around her. The young wizard gestured her arms towards the skies, with the shards following her directions. When they were far enough distance for Neomie, she closed her hands, and the shards blew up one by one. Small, ice crystals then rained down harmlessly at the children. The children cheered and jumped to catch the ice. Charlotte nodded disapprovingly. She did not understand the joy. “Bye Snowball!” Many of the children cried out. ''Snowball. What a stupid name.''

She dealt with the hard labor and distasteful tasks of being a squire without complaint. As a initiate, she endured the harsh, exhaustive training without fail. When she earned her knight title, she did her duties without pause. Whatever order come from a superior, she carried it out without question no matter how life threatening it was. Even on days where she was sick and exhausted, she never stopped training. She followed every written and unwritten rule that was taught. Charlotte was a good knight, but not a good person. Still reeling from repeated blows to her head, Charlotte found her wrists bounded and kneeling in front of the [[Grand Marshal]] of her order, [[The Order of the Mother’s Light]]. The Marshal was donned in his luxurious white gown, bearing the Order’s crest on the back. The dark red haired, bearded gentlemen glared down towards the battered woman. She showed no emotion as she stared back towards her superior. “The other knights want your head for what you have done.” The Marshal said. “I don’t care. Get this over with and they can have my head..” “Do you have nothing to say for yourself, how you dishonored your own brethren and family?” “I do not. I am guilty. There is nothing to say.” “At least you still have your honor. That is commendable. But it will not save you from your punishment.” “Nor do I want it. I deserve to die for what I have done. Let us be through so I can see the executioner’s axe.” The Marshal returned behind his desk and sat down. Charlotte put her head down, fearing she had no right to look at him for any longer. She hated the waiting. She wanted to hear her punishment now. “Killing one of your brethren in a drunken, hate-filled brawl is a serious crime. As you are well aware, the punishment for killing one of your sworn comrades in dishonorable combat is death.” There was a pause as the Marshal put on his spectacles. “However, I will not grant you death.” Charlotte looked up, stunned at what she had heard. “In the thirty years I have been Marshal of this order, I have never ordered the execution of one of my knights. I will not start tonight, especially not with my very own daughter." “F-father…” “You brought shame to my family name and my legacy. Our scribes will write poorly upon me for this incident. But I cannot in good conscience order your execution. But I cannot let you go unpunished.” A single tear came out of Charlotte’s eye. Her father noticed it quickly. He hadn't seen her daughter shed a tear since she was a child. “My judgement is this- you will be stripped of your title. Your accomplishments in battle will be stricken from our records. Your name stricken from all our Order’s history save for the evil deed you have committed. You are no longer a knight of this Order, and you will never be a knight in any Order across the kingdom…” “No. No please!” “And you are…” The marshal eyes turned red as tears rolled down his cheek, no matter how much he tried to hide it. “You are from this day forward no longer my daughter. You may be of my flesh and blood and that I cannot change, but I will never see you again child.” “You can’t do this!” Charlotte jumped up and shouted. “Kill me please! Let me die!” Two knights barged in and took a hold of Charlotte as they presumed she would get violent. “I’m sorry Charlotte…but this is my judgement. You are free to live out the rest of your days in any fashion you see fit. But you will forever live in shame for what you have done. You will have no family to go to. These are the burdens that will shackle your mortal coil until the Mother finally calls for you and seeks to judge you.” “You’re a bastard!” Charlotte shouted. “I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!” The Marshal turned around in his chair, not wanting to look at his child again. “Men, throw her off our grounds. But do not harm her, for she is of no danger to any of us anymore.” “Yes Marshal.” One of the knights replied. Charlotte was trying to break free from the knights, but she was tired and had little in the way of strength. However, her cursing and shouting did not cease, and the Marshal would hear of it for a bit longer. The door to the Marshal’s sanctuary closed behind the guards. The Marshal looked down from his room towards a cemetery plot located right next to the compound. His eyes were pointed towards one gravestone- one with a small stone statue of a saint wearing armor. He tried to hold back his tears, but some still broke through. “My love…I pray that you will forgive me…” [[Beyond the Winter Veil Chapter One|Next chapter]] 03c76899af0a3db12af995fbfe69083ae9709033 0 8 139 95 2023-08-01T15:50:04Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki Ylatians are [[humans]] native to the peninsula of [[Ylati]], located in southern [[Auvropa]]. They are the direct descendants from the God [[Sanctris]]. == History == === Ancient Times === Like all other races in Auvropa, the origins of Ylatians are shrouded in myth. The most popular myth, which ties the Ylatians with their human cousins, the [[Francians]] and [[Thermosians]], was that the [[Mother]] Goddess created humans in her image when she first arrived on the continent. To watch over them, she gave the Ylatians her son Sanctris to protect and educate them. This theory is popular among the common folk but more secular-minded scholars believe in a more natural explanation. According to lore, the Ylatians were the humans that thrived the most from the Gods' gifts. Ylati's position in Auvropa, in the heart of the Inner Sea, allowed them to enrich themselves with trade and spread their culture beyond it's borders. The climate was favorable to agriculture all year around and it is said that the concept of hunger did not exist among Ylatis. Diplomacy was their greatest strength, forming alliances and trade deals with people both far and close to further protect and enrich themselves. However, this golden age lead to jealousy from many, including a great jealousy from the God Thermanos and His people, leading to a hatred that persists to this day. During the [[The Divine War]], the vast majority of Ylatians stayed loyal to their god Sanctris and fought alongside the forces of good. Unfortunately, Ylati suffered greatly during the war, being the target for many of the jealous powers that wished to drive Ylati to ruin. Many of the great cities, like Emor and Florsis, were razed to the ground and fertile fields salted. Though the Ylatians were on the winning side, their great nation was in ruin and worse, Sanctris was banished from the mortal realm and could not look to him for recovery. Gradually, the Ylatians would lose much of the valuable knowledge and lessons, exchanging it for poverty, famine, violence, and misery. ===The Rebirth of the Ylatian Kingdom=== d41258a04ed2b3d32d9aa6f8df8a81fb4d328af4 0 1 140 90 2023-08-02T23:36:03Z DarthHaze2 2 /* Main characters: */ wikitext text/x-wiki Welcome to The Legends of the Apostles Wiki!

He is the main antagonist of ''Aless: Apostle Ascendant.'' ==Biography== Born to poverty-stricken serfs in Morthan, Marko rose to prominence after being conscripted in his lord's retinue and quickly rising up the ranks thanks to his merciless nature and ruthless fighting style. But his greatest strength did not involve violence, but with his charisma. His powerful presence, religious fervor, and honeyed words rallied poor soldiers to his side, eager to follow their new lord into battle. It didn't take long before Marko staged a coup with his supporters, killing their lord and what loyal soldiers he had on his side, taking what they could, and leaving for Morthan's eastern frontiers. Though technically a outlaw by any normal standards, the Morthan King was bitter rivals with Marko's now deceased lord. His crime was covered up, and as a reward he was allowed to form a mercenary band called '''The Bloody Blades.''' Though legally a mercenary company and therefore could be hired by any Thermosian noble, Marko's band operated nothing more than bandits with legal protections, as they made raids in The Wild Lands and Francia for plunder and slaves. Nothing could be done as authorities were powerless to stop him and the Federation looked the other way due to his activities being outside their borders. His personal wealth and reputation only grew, and it wouldn't take long before even more powerful people took notice of him. ===The Assault on Ylati=== On the 79th Day of Winter, 1450, The Bloody Blades made winter camp north of Morthan's capital city, Mothens. There, they were paid a visit by representatives of the Cult of Thermanos, a powerful religious organization who ensures all in the Federation worships the God of Knowledge and Strength, Thermanos. The Cult hired Marko and his band for a expedition into the Federation's nemesis- the neighboring Ylatian Empire- to abduct a woman of great power. In exchange, on top of the incredible payment and whatever pillage the bandits could find, Marko would be taught the secrets of the powerful Soul Magic. After seeing a demonstration of the power involving a dead deer that awaited skinning, Marko agreed and was quickly taught the basics of this incredible power and was promised even more should he succeed. ==Personality== ==Powers and Abilities== ==Trivia== *Marko's last name, Ruchsik, originates from the German word for ruthless- "Rucksichtslos" ff927249f5f2afec081401f91032a6c1ece0f813 0 35 149 2023-08-06T17:18:14Z DarthHaze2 2 Created page with "[[Beyond the Winter Veil Chapter One|Previous Chapter]] No issues came up while Charlotte returned Neomie to the castle, though the two didn’t speak the entire way.

Neomie had her head down somberly, without ever glancing at the imposing woman next to her. Charlotte for her part refused to acknowledge the young noble’s feelings, not caring about whatever trivial and childish desires she had. She was more than happy that Neomie was quiet. Charlotte was pleased to be back in the warmth the castle provided from the outside chill. Many of the castle residents they met along the way greeted Neomie, and though she tried to be courtly and greet them back, she could not hide her unhappiness to be back at the castle to anyone. They found the door to Ambroise’s sanctum already opened. Charlotte and Neomie passed through, catching the Lord writing on a piece of parchment. He quickly stopped and shoved it back into his desk when the two women appeared. Charlotte went on one knee like before. Neomie bowed her upper half before her father. He did not respond, instead turning on the mechanism underneath his desk so that the door behind them would close and lock. Only after the lock clang from the lock shocked the room did Ambroise speak. “Neomie.” Ambroise got up from his desk, stroking his grey-black mix goatee. “I hope you did some studying at the library.” “I lied father. I apologize. I just wanted to play with some friends.” “Irrelevant.” Ambroise did not look angry, which surprised both ladies. “I hope your history studies have not faltered.” “I try to keep up with the tutors father.” Replied Neomie. “And I already plan on taking more history classes at the university next Fall.” “I hope you are my dear Neomie, for I need your intellect on this matter.” “Excuse me, milord.” Interrupted Charlotte. “If you wish for me to take my leave so you can-” But Ambroise would not let her finish. “No. This concerns you too. I command you to stay. You may rise.” “Of course, milord.” Ambroise turned around, rummaging in a pocket beneath his glamorous attire. He pulled out an iron key, rusted from age, and turned to the pedestal behind his throne. A loud click was heard, and Ambroise carefully pulled whatever content was inside. He turned slowly, revealing an icy white gem in a shiny silver necklace. There was no signs of wear or even a spec of uncleanliness on it, still shiny as if it was just created at that moment from a world-renowned jeweler. “Let’s see if you know you indeed are keeping up with your studies. Tell us Neomie, what is this?” He gave the necklace to the young lady. Neomie observed the jewelry closely. It gave out an aura of chilliness like conditions outside. Just being around it started to ache Charlotte’s ears something fierce and wished whatever the two were doing would be quick. “The Shard of Eternal Winter.” Replied Neomie. “Our precious family amulet.” “I see you know your basics.” Her father said with a smirk as he took back the amulet from Neomie. Charlotte noticed something particular during the exchange. She noticed that Ambroise’s hands were trembling as if he was physically struggling to hold on to the amulet. But once he passed it on to Neomie, the amulet didn’t seem to bother her one bit. She wondered if it involved magic, but matters of that nature were beyond her. “Do you know of its history?” Neomie paused to think, then answered plainly. “I do. It was created by our ancestor, Aurela to amplify her magical power.” “Very good.” Neomie started to get visibly frustrated. “Father! Forgive me for this, but why did you summon me here? To quiz me about ancient jewelry?” Ambroise’s demenour mimicked Neomie’s. “Impatient girl! Fine!” He went back to the pedestal and carefully put the necklace back in it. Charlotte was thankful the object was finally put away and the room could warm up a bit but was startled by Ambroise’s quick change of tone. “How about this- Do you know about Aurela’s book?” Neomie paused again, this time for a bit longer. “I…I’m not sure…I think I’ve heard of it…” “Then don’t talk to me about wasting your day when you are clearly falling behind in your studies! You are the one who wastes their day and youth playing silly games with the commoners! Just to help you out then, the Tome of Aurelic Wisdom is ancient, written well before the Common Era. Supposedly contains histories and magical lore long lost to time…” “What’s the point of all this?” Interrupted Neomie. Charlotte was getting visibly angry at Neomie’s tone towards her lord and wished to disciplined her. Ambroise sighed. “It’s resting place has been found. And I need you to retrieve it.” Neomie was taken aback. “Why me?!” “Because I’m your father and I command you? Of course not. I ask because according to a trusted…you’re the only one who can even gain access to it in the first place.” There was a pause. Neomie stood there; her eyes shot up towards her father. Words could not escape from her mouth. She couldn’t even find the words to express her shock. Charlotte, on the other hand, was silently trying to figure out what part she played here. Her knees were starting to strain from constantly on them during this whole conversation. “I have your complete attention? Excellent. Here’s the issue at hand- as you know Neomie, it is our bloodline’s duty that we protect these great relics. It would not be the first time one of them has fallen to those who would use them for nefarious purposes. And this tome contains powerful magics that could be used to harm many innocent lives.” “But wait” Neomie interrupted. “You said that only I can access it? Wouldn’t be safer if left at its resting place?” “If that was the case, I would keep it a secret. But unfortunately, someone else knows about its location- the Thermosian Cult.” “Why would they be out here?” Neomie asked. “Because they hoard ancient, arcane relics for nefarious purposes. And if anyone in Auvropa could figure out how to gain access to said tome, it would be them! We cannot give them the opportunity. At least here, in our castle, it would be under constant guard, protected by me and my loyal soldiers. Even they would think twice before assailing our home.” Neomie nodded. “I understand now. But you never answered why you need me?” “Because silly girl, you are the only one in this household that can harness snow magic like Aurela. I don’t have that power. Your mother had that power, but she has long been gone from our lives.” Ambroise turned to his loyal servant and called her name, where she saluted. “You are the only soldier here brave enough for this task. You must protect my daughter from any harm or influence. Do not let anyone interfere in this task. Do not let any harm come to her. Do not let that book fall to the wrong hands!” His voice boomed through the room, emphasizing what he had demanded. “I understand milord. I will happily give up my life for this task.” “Thank you. Now, you two, please leave me for I have important business to attend to. Return to me in this room first thing in the morning. I’ll have supplies and gear ready for you two. And Neomie?” “Yes father?” “Don’t disappoint me again.” [[Beyond the Winter Veil Chapter Three| Next Chapter]] 48028df21704f496057a58254057aa44a3c4e4a1 150 149 2023-08-06T17:18:27Z DarthHaze2 2 Protected "[[Beyond the Winter Veil Chapter Two]]" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) wikitext text/x-wiki [[Beyond the Winter Veil Chapter One|Previous Chapter]] No issues came up while Charlotte returned Neomie to the castle, though the two didn’t speak the entire way.

He did not respond, instead turning on the mechanism underneath his desk so that the door behind them would close and lock. Only after the lock clang from the lock shocked the room did Ambroise speak. “Neomie.” Ambroise got up from his desk, stroking his grey-black mix goatee. “I hope you did some studying at the library.” “I lied father. I apologize. I just wanted to play with some friends.” “Irrelevant.” Ambroise did not look angry, which surprised both ladies. “I hope your history studies have not faltered.” “I try to keep up with the tutors father.” Replied Neomie. “And I already plan on taking more history classes at the university next Fall.” “I hope you are my dear Neomie, for I need your intellect on this matter.” “Excuse me, milord.” Interrupted Charlotte. “If you wish for me to take my leave so you can-” But Ambroise would not let her finish. “No. This concerns you too. I command you to stay. You may rise.” “Of course, milord.” Ambroise turned around, rummaging in a pocket beneath his glamorous attire. He pulled out an iron key, rusted from age, and turned to the pedestal behind his throne. A loud click was heard, and Ambroise carefully pulled whatever content was inside. He turned slowly, revealing an icy white gem in a shiny silver necklace. There was no signs of wear or even a spec of uncleanliness on it, still shiny as if it was just created at that moment from a world-renowned jeweler. “Let’s see if you know you indeed are keeping up with your studies. Tell us Neomie, what is this?” He gave the necklace to the young lady. Neomie observed the jewelry closely. It gave out an aura of chilliness like conditions outside. Just being around it started to ache Charlotte’s ears something fierce and wished whatever the two were doing would be quick. “[[The Shard of Eternal Winter]].” Replied Neomie. “Our precious family amulet.” “I see you know your basics.” Her father said with a smirk as he took back the amulet from Neomie. Charlotte noticed something particular during the exchange. She noticed that Ambroise’s hands were trembling as if he was physically struggling to hold on to the amulet. But once he passed it on to Neomie, the amulet didn’t seem to bother her one bit. She wondered if it involved magic, but matters of that nature were beyond her. “Do you know of its history?” Neomie paused to think, then answered plainly. “I do. It was created by our ancestor, [[Aurela]] to amplify her magical power.” “Very good.” Neomie started to get visibly frustrated. “Father! Forgive me for this, but why did you summon me here? To quiz me about ancient jewelry?” Ambroise’s demenour mimicked Neomie’s. “Impatient girl! Fine!” He went back to the pedestal and carefully put the necklace back in it. Charlotte was thankful the object was finally put away and the room could warm up a bit but was startled by Ambroise’s quick change of tone. “How about this- Do you know about Aurela’s book?” Neomie paused again, this time for a bit longer. “I…I’m not sure…I think I’ve heard of it…” “Then don’t talk to me about wasting your day when you are clearly falling behind in your studies! You are the one who wastes their day and youth playing silly games with the commoners! Just to help you out then, the [[Tome of Aurelic Wisdom]] is ancient, written well before the Common Era. Supposedly contains histories and magical lore long lost to time…” “What’s the point of all this?” Interrupted Neomie. Charlotte was getting visibly angry at Neomie’s tone towards her lord and wished to disciplined her. Ambroise sighed. “It’s resting place has been found. And I need you to retrieve it.” Neomie was taken aback. “Why me?!” “Because I’m your father and I command you? Of course not. I ask because according to a trusted…you’re the only one who can even gain access to it in the first place.” There was a pause. Neomie stood there; her eyes shot up towards her father. Words could not escape from her mouth. She couldn’t even find the words to express her shock. Charlotte, on the other hand, was silently trying to figure out what part she played here. Her knees were starting to strain from constantly on them during this whole conversation. “I have your complete attention? Excellent. Here’s the issue at hand- as you know Neomie, it is our bloodline’s duty that we protect these great relics. It would not be the first time one of them has fallen to those who would use them for nefarious purposes. And this tome contains powerful magics that could be used to harm many innocent lives.” “But wait” Neomie interrupted. “You said that only I can access it? Wouldn’t be safer if left at its resting place?” “If that was the case, I would keep it a secret. But unfortunately, someone else knows about its location- [[the Thermosian Cult|Cult of Thermanos]].” “Why would they be out here?” Neomie asked. “Because they hoard ancient, arcane relics for nefarious purposes. And if anyone in [[Auvropa]] could figure out how to gain access to said tome, it would be them! We cannot give them the opportunity. At least here, in our castle, it would be under constant guard, protected by me and my loyal soldiers. Even they would think twice before assailing our home.” Neomie nodded. “I understand now. But you never answered why you need me?” “Because silly girl, you are the only one in this household that can harness snow magic like Aurela. I don’t have that power. Your mother had that power, but she has long been gone from our lives.” Ambroise turned to his loyal servant and called her name, where she saluted. “You are the only soldier here brave enough for this task. You must protect my daughter from any harm or influence. Do not let anyone interfere in this task. Do not let any harm come to her. Do not let that book fall to the wrong hands!” His voice boomed through the room, emphasizing what he had demanded. “I understand milord. I will happily give up my life for this task.” “Thank you. Now, you two, please leave me for I have important business to attend to. Return to me in this room first thing in the morning. I’ll have supplies and gear ready for you two. And Neomie?” “Yes father?” “Don’t disappoint me again.” [[Beyond the Winter Veil Chapter Three| Next Chapter]] c87d445b413556295942318c706a3f4127fcaa6e 0 36 158 2023-08-18T09:40:37Z DarthHaze2 2 Created page with "{{Infobox character | name = Neomie Padilla | image = | caption = Art by Cazziecaz | nickname = Snowball | species = Human | gender = Female | title = Heir Apparent to the Asconnes Dukedom | occupation = Student | affiliation = Dukedom of Asconnes | fighting_style = Snow Magic | family = The Padilla Line | relatives = Suzelle (Mother), Ambroise (Father) | rel..." wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox character | name = Neomie Padilla | image = | caption = Art by Cazziecaz | nickname = Snowball | species = Human | gender = Female | title = Heir Apparent to the Asconnes Dukedom | occupation = Student | affiliation = Dukedom of Asconnes | fighting_style = Snow Magic | family = The Padilla Line | relatives = Suzelle (Mother), Ambroise (Father) | religion = Disciple of the Mother | origin = Asconnes Dukedom, Kingdom of Francia | nationality = Francian }} d7f60676c3460e5aedd9fb9f87a33728be96d792 10 37 159 2023-08-18T09:41:09Z DarthHaze2 2 Created page with "{{Infobox character}}" wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox character}} 4a74f4ab6e53dd5f9852d043f2d1c8b0d9383278 160 159 2023-08-18T09:42:21Z DarthHaze2 2 Blanked the page wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 0 36 161 158 2023-08-18T09:42:50Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki {|Infobox character | name = Neomie Padilla | image = | caption = Art by Cazziecaz | nickname = Snowball | species = Human | gender = Female | title = Heir Apparent to the Asconnes Dukedom | occupation = Student | affiliation = Dukedom of Asconnes | fighting_style = Snow Magic | family = The Padilla Line | relatives = Suzelle (Mother), Ambroise (Father) | religion = Disciple of the Mother | origin = Asconnes Dukedom, Kingdom of Francia | nationality = Francian |} 791efdc293335e46b4392bd9828ddd8e9a7a532d 162 161 2023-08-18T09:43:07Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox character | name = Neomie Padilla | image = | caption = Art by Cazziecaz | nickname = Snowball | species = Human | gender = Female | title = Heir Apparent to the Asconnes Dukedom | occupation = Student | affiliation = Dukedom of Asconnes | fighting_style = Snow Magic | family = The Padilla Line | relatives = Suzelle (Mother), Ambroise (Father) | religion = Disciple of the Mother | origin = Asconnes Dukedom, Kingdom of Francia | nationality = Francian }} d7f60676c3460e5aedd9fb9f87a33728be96d792 10 37 163 160 2023-08-18T09:43:42Z DarthHaze2 2 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Infobox character | color = <!-- headers background color;

READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED''' ===== [[Aless, Apostle Ascendant Chapter 2| Previous Chapter]] Marko looked out towards the town from the north, peering through the telescope. He could see the Harpies harassing the Ylatian soldiers, struggling to keep them at bay. Smoke was raising from behind the gates as some of the buildings had caught on fire thanks to the gunpowder imbued in the Harpies. The most important objective- the gate itself- was still closed. “Wonderful sight wouldn’t you agree?” Kalar said with a smile. “I prefer a fair fight.” Marko replied, putting away his telescope. “A fair fight here will just get you killed, not paid.” Marko said nothing, but it was true. Attacking walled settlements was always difficult, but ones with well-built stone walls manned by a professional army amounted to suicide without proper preparation. The Bloody Blades had no experience in siege warfare. They never needed it. Marko only agreed to this job because Kalar had special weapons to use. “I’m going to take the walls myself.” Said Marko. He turned his horse around to come face-to-face with almost two dozen men behind him on horseback, all of them eager to join the battle that was raging ahead. “My men are eager.” “I will not stop you Marko.” Kalar said, with an even bigger smiling grin. “I hope in the end you appreciate my Harpies and what they have done for you and your men.” Kalar was right. Marko could easily tell knew the old man was enjoying all of this. To him, this isn’t war, it’s theater. And he was all too happy to fulfill the man’s desires. Marko unsheathed his blade from the scabbard on his back and raised it in the air. The men let out a furious cheer at the sight. “Today we are the hammer of Thermanos’s who will smash these despicable heathens! Give them no quarry! Drench your blades with their blood!” The soldiers responded with a war cry, each one unique to the individual. “Charge!!!” The thunderous sound of two dozen horses charged through the valley, Marko and his tall black horse leading the way. Kalar coughed as the dirt overwhelmed his senses, but otherwise enjoyed the show. The Bloody Blades faced little resistance to their charge. Some gunshots and arrows went their way but failed to hit any of them. The defenders were preoccupied trying to repel the harpies attacking them. The gate ahead was a simple design, nothing too special, but still required special weapons to break though. Marko had packed some crude explosives with him, knowing that it wouldn’t destroy the gate completely but it would allow him and a few men through so they can take the fight to the gatehouse. When they were within engagement range of the walls, several men armed with gunpowder weapons separated to fire on the defenders, to draw their attention. Marko himself made it to the gate, along with seven men. All but one dismounted their horse, the one who didn’t attempt to escort the horses out of the fight and into safety. Marko grabbed his satchel filled with the explosives and haphazardly threw them at the foot of the gate. His men took cover along the wall. Marko pulled out some matches and flint, and after lighting a fire, tossed them accurately at the bag of explosives. The resulting explosion defended everyone, but no one was caught in it or the shrapnel that shot from it. The plan worked though, as a hole big enough for full-grown men to slip through. “To the gatehouse! Show no mercy!” Shouted Marko so loudly that it hurt his throat, but it was still barely audible thanks to the noise of war around him. The men let out a blood-curling war cry and followed their leader through the gates. Some Ylatian soldiers came out of the gate house to meet the attackers. A violent melee broke out. Two of Marko’s forces who were the first to meet them were cut down in the melee. A third member was shot from above, a bullet going through the top of his skull. The Ylatians fired some rifles from above the gate but didn’t risk firing on those already in the melee, instead turning around to fire back at the other attackers. The ferocity of the Thermosian attackers overmatched the Ylatian defenders. Marko himself cut down three Ylatians with his blade. Though he was nicked, none of it fazed him. Five Ylatians went down from his fellow Blades, and the melee was over. One soldier left the fight to run back to the gatehouse and closed the door, trying his hardest to keep the Thermosians out and yelling for his comrades. But it was a fruitless endeavor, as Marko plunged his sword through the door, going through the unfortunate soldier’s neck. As the Thermosians entered the second floor, the Ylatians chose not to meet them in battle, instead falling back to the walls. One of Marko’s men took control of the controls. The rest broke into two groups to attack both sides of the walls. Marko went with the group heading towards the eastern flank of the walls. “Bastards are barricading the doors!” Shouted one of the Thermosians. Marko shoved the man aside. He held out his hand, palm aiming towards the door. A tear opened in the skin, followed by the veins on his arms protruding out and giving out an orange-yellowish aura. “Blast of Fire!” He shouted. The veins turned into an intense yellow. The tissue around the opening to a light red with a yellow afterglow. Immediately after shouting, a ball of fire was forming. As quickly as it formed, the spell shot straight into the wooden door where it exploded. Wooden shrapnel shot into the defenders on the other side. Two Ylatian soldiers who were trying to keep the doors barricade were ripped to shred from it. Two others cried out in agony and scattered randomly as fire engulfed them, causing them to stumble off the roof. Marko went through the opening first, swiftly cutting down two soldiers who survived the blast but were disoriented. He pressed forward with his soldiers behind him, cutting down anyone in his way. Blood splattered all over his face, even partially obscuring his eyesight and up his nose, but that did little to stop the rampage. In fact, it made him even more lustful for violence, cutting down more and more Ylatian soldiers who dared to try and stop him. He was like a man possessed. The harpies sent to harass the wall defenders disengaged and went into the city proper, leaving the Blades to deal with what’s left of the Ylatians. But it did not matter, as Marko continued his rampage. Some soldiers fired their rifles into the Thermosians, sending two men down. Marko was struck in the left shoulder, but it did not stop him. It only made him angrier. As more Ylatians dropped dead by Marko’s hands, he could finally see what the leader of the garrison was. His face and armor were covered with the blood with harpies, but underneath one could see that the emblem and design was more intricate than what the average soldier was wearing. Marko screamed at the top of his lungs, trying to rally his men to make a push, wanting to his forces to engage with the bodyguards so he could duel with the leader. “Fight me!” He screamed out. It grabbed the man’s attention, but instead of agreeing, he pointed his pistol and fired, hitting Marko in his right bicep. “You barbarous cur!” The Ylatian shouted back. “I’ll gladly send your evil soul to Hell!” Angry and completely hyper-focused, Marko charged first, launching himself at the Ylatian with a bloody roar. His wounds did little to stop him. The Ylatian dropped his pistol, replacing it with a short sword, and put the shield up. He blocked the initial impact, but Marko’s immense strength caused the shield to crack under the pressure. The Ylatian pushed his shield back and counter-attacked, trying to use speed to his advantage and pierce an opening in the upper armor. But Marko was surprisingly quick, dodging the blade and took the advantage. With a quick overhead swing, Marko’s blade caught the unprotected elbow, cleaving through the bone and lopping the arm in half. The duel lasted not even a minute. The Ylatian commander was on his knees with blood spitting out of the wound. Marko kicked him in the chest, putting the soldier on his back, then stepped on his neck. “Go…to…Hell…monster…” It took only a few more seconds before Marko finally crushed his neck and killed him. Marko let out a triumph roar. The Ylatian garrison was on the run. The gates of Dehl were finally opened and his men poured into the city. Harpies continued to attack any Ylatian still on the streets. The battle was not over but for the moment, his forces were winning. “What a display.” A familiar voice cracked behind. Kalar was behind him, flanked by two of his harpies. “Thermanos surely favors you this day.” “How’d you get here so fast?” Marko replied, panting heavily. “When I saw that you were taking the wall, I had my harpies take me. I got a nice view of the duel with this Duke.” “That was a Duke?” “Yes. A brave man to face someone like you. Most Ylatian nobles wouldn’t dare lead from the front. You should feel honored that he chose to fight you.” “I don’t feel honored. He gave me no challenge!” Marko kicked the body. Kalar could sense the anger in Marko, angrier than usual. It did not disturb him. If anything, it made him only more pleased. He observed all the bodies of the dead around him, and an idea came. “This might seem random…but would you like to learn a new spell?” [[Aless, Apostle Ascendant Chapter 4|Next Chapter]] a75debd83e7b45abe404e1599dfadacabc540400 182 180 2023-08-19T10:00:55Z DarthHaze2 2 Protected "[[Aless, Apostle Ascendant Chapter 3]]" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) wikitext text/x-wiki ===== '''CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE.

Reader discretion is advised. ===== Dahlia hated days like this, but it was part of her royal duty. It was her father’s weekly review of Dehl’s garrison, and she had to accompany him once again. She did not mind meeting the troops specifically. She found some of the soldiers in the castle garrison were a lot more entertaining to talk to than some of the stuffy courtiers or nobles that visited. But she found the whole ceremony boring, and she preferred learning to be a soldier from Captain Alonso. Dante Dehlino, the Duke of Dehl and Dalia’s father, donned his polished steel chest plate etched with the insignia of the dukedom- a shield donning a yellow sunflower with two crossing blades behind it. The soldiers wore generic-looking steel armor, but still donned a checkerboard pattern gambeson of the town’s colors- light blue and yellow. All of this was a stark contrast from what Dahlia was wearing- a casual blue long tunic with white leggings and brown high boots. The soldiers didn’t seem to mind it, but her father vocally disapproved of the attire as more unprofessionalism. The two entered the gate house on the north-eastern wing of the walls. There they were met by a dark-skin, bald man with a greying goatee. He was also wearing a special chest plate similar to the Duke but not as polished or well-kept as the Duke’s. “Captain Alonso.” The two shook hands. “Greetings milord. And nice to see you again Dahlia.” “It’s always a pleasure captain.” Dahlia said while they shook hands. “Anything from the north we should be worried about?” “Been seeing some large birds out in the distance with the telescope. Can’t see them too well but likely predator birds migrating east. Other than that, very quiet and boring. Still no traffic from the Thermosians.” “Again?” Dante sighed with disappointment. “It’s been almost two months since the last caravan came through. I’ve been itching to pick up some more ingredients for my pantry.” Dahlia shared her father’s disappointment. Merchant caravans from Thermosia were always a treat when they stopped by Dehl on their way to the larger Ylatian cities in the south, showing off their food, art, and culture with the people. Usually, they stayed put for the winter due to dangerous conditions traveling the mountains that separated the two nations, but spring was almost over and no caravans still came. “May I see those birds?” The Duke asked. “Of course, milord. Right this way.” The two walked upstairs, past one of the two machines that control Dehl’s northern gate. The soldier on duty saluted the three as they passed. On the second floor of the tower was one of the murder holes used to watch over the north, the room’s wall was filled with various crossbows and rifles for the defenders. A telescope was set up by the largest hole for daytime lookouts. One of which was in the tower cleaning the telescope but stopped to salute the captain and the royal family. Dante got a napkin and cleaned off the eyeplace. He took a peak and noticed the birds the captain mentioned. But unlike the captain who reported that the men could only see the outline, he could see more than an outline, and it horrified him. “Alonso…they aren’t birds.” “I’m sorry milord?” The duke invited the captain to look for himself. The captain saw the “birds.” They looked more like humans, but with razor sharp talons that replacing their hands and feet. Flesh-colored wings with white feathers protruded from their backs. Though he could not see their faces if they still retained their human qualities, it did not matter. They were coming towards Dehl. They were coming fast in large numbers. And they were likely hostile. “What the…?” The duke turned Alonso to him. Take Dalia and retreat to the keep. I’ll lead the defense.” “Father? I can help.” “No, protect your mother. Alonso, protect them both.” Alonso saluted with a fist on his chest. “Proudly milord.” The duke started barking orders. The bells in the tower above blasted alive. Dalia tried to get his attention, but to no avail. Alonso grabbed her hand and forced her to go with him. “Please milady. This will be over soon I promise.” He said, trying to reassure the increasingly nervous Dalia. Once outside, the two witnessed people running off the streets. Most people in Dehl knew the two bells from the towers signaled a dangerous encounter was occurring, though the last time it was used was almost two decades ago. Soldiers came pouring out of a barracks near the walls, hastily putting on their armor and gathering their weapons. Some soldiers already on duty were trying to escort people back to their homes. Gunfire erupted from behind them, but they paid no heed. Getting to the Dehlino estate was on both Alonso and Dalia’s minds. They took a shortcut to avoid the main highway, opting to take smaller roads and alleys where foot traffic would be minimal. But it turned out to be a mistake, as one of the small residential footpaths that Alonso hoped would shortcut was locked up with a large iron chain and lock. “Dammit!” He shouted, finally letting go of Dahlia’s arm. He had forgotten the park was closed for renovations, and he didn’t have the key to open it. Suddenly an explosion startled them. The origins were unknown, but it confirmed that they were indeed under attack. Some of the humanoid birds were now above the town, though they hadn’t noticed the two below. “Come on! We’ll have to try another alley!” Alonso shouted. “This is the shortest route though!” “Unfortunately, Sanctris isn’t on our side today. Move it!” They got back on the road. Another explosion rocked the area and again they did not know where it came from. Three of the attackers flew over them and spotted them, swooping down to attack their prey. Alonso, however, noticed them immediately and pulled out the claymore strapped to his back. The first bird was defeated easily, with Alonso using all the strength he could muster to lift the blade above his head to stab the beast before it could attack him. The other two dived down towards Dalia. She was unarmed, but she avoided their sweeping attack. One of them crashed violently into the ground, seemingly dying on impact. The other avoided the ground and flew right back into the air. Alonso regained his composure, though his arms ached greatly after using his sword in that way. The creature dived back down towards Dalia, its razor-sharp talons ready to rend the flesh of the young woman, when Alonso jumped in front of the Duchess. The creature’s talons stabbed through his armor, “Alonso!” Dalia cried out. The creature pulled its talons out of his body and followed-up with a swiped attack across the veteran’s face. Alonso dropped his sword and fell, clutching his injury. The creature landed on top of him, inflicting more wounds this time on his legs, and unleashed a flurry of swipes to break through the armor. Dalia rushed for Alonso’s sword, not thinking of her own safety. She picked up the massive sword as if it was light as a feather. The creature was too occupied with trying to open the veteran’s armor for it to notice the young woman with the sword, and it paid the price. Dalia swung the blade, cleaving through the torso and rendering it in two pieces. Dalia dropped the sword and tended to the soldier. His face had a terrible cut on the cheek, almost along the eye though thankfully missed it. However, he was clearly in agony from it. “Y-you should’ve…ran…!” Alonso berated. “I’m not leaving you to die here. I’ll take you back to my home for treatment.” “I’ll just…slow you down milady.” Another explosion, this time they witnessed it. One of the monsters flew right into a building nearby at high speed, blowing a massive hole in the roof. “Shit! Get out of here!” Alonso shouted. “Forgive me for my harsh language, but please shut up Alonso and let me do this.” Dalia lifted Alonso and put his arm around her. “You’re too fucking stubborn.” The captain again berated. “Fine!” [[Aless, Apostle Ascendant Chapter 3|Next chapter]] 75891c108706627343cea12a58852a35fd9990b0
